Rain Check

Apologies, but today I’ve been cleaning ( family coming over this weekend) and had church tonight. Haven’t been home long, but I’m just tired. I will do the Challenge, just not today 

Rain Check too

I just don't have this kind of energy. This is my second week in this position, overseeing parts of three different projects, two of which are in deadline mode, and the other of which had a major fail today. On top of all that, tomorrow my boss and the boss of one of the deadline projects will be in town and I'll be meeting both of them for the first time face-to-face.

I'll get the challenge up, but yeah, no writing for a bit for me.

Challenge #35

[shivver]

Things have been hectic for me lately, so I thought, why not go with it? Write a scene where your character or characters are up against a deadline. It could be something real-life-ish, like a work deadline or trying to pack the car and gather the kids to leave on vacation before rush hour starts, or it could be the hero trying to stop a bomb from going off or racing to catch a vial of deadly virus that got thrown into the air. Your character(s) could win, or they could fail.

The catch? Only write the last 30 seconds (or less) before the deadline. Try to capture that sense of urgency and panic. Don't set up the situation - assume the reader knows what's going on, so that you don't slow down the action.
