I'm trying to get into the habit of a) freewriting and b) writing something every day, even if it's not something I want to cross-post anywhere. I haven't written anything since November and I'd like to change that, but just stewing at the computer isn't going to help ( Read more... )

Bandages: intense, desperate. Playing with first and second person must be interesting; you get all sorts of points of view mixed up and in everything, so there's great potential for dramatic irony or the reader knowing more about the narrators than they do and whatever. The bit you posted was a solid capture of a feeling.

Brig/Liz: hee. "It's terribly showy [...] he thinks, somewhat hazily." :) Last line very effective in implying "but I like champagne! let's get tipsy together, I like you!!"

This seems like a nice writing exercise, actually. Neat to read if you keep it up, but entirely up to you what you want to do with it; no expectations from the peanut gallery.

I'm glad you enjoyed them! I didn't end up doing any writing yesterday, but I should be able to get an hour or so in before I go to bed.

I'm...not sure what was going on with the POV in the first one. It just sort of happened that way. I originally thought that there were three people involved - the speaker, the person in the bandages, and the stoic one, but now that ou mentioned it, I'm not so sure; one of them might be herself, or not really there, or be the person in the bandages themselves, or, um. Something. Yeah, I've got nothing.

Thanks for reading, and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
