Wow. I'm not sure whether to be nervous or elated.
I settled on which story I plan to remix within a day of getting my assignment. I thought I had a general direction, but after sleeping on it overnight, I got hit with an even better one. Yayness!
So, within mere 2 hours this evening I had the skeleton of the story up and ready to go. The actual writing is going to be harder (
a lot harder), because I'm gonna have to exercise more control than my usual over word choices — not to mention the writing style is going to be practically foreign when compared to my usual — but I'm pretty upbeat about the challenge as a whole.
I haven't made this much progress this quickly on remix in, oh...ever.
For the heck of it, I went back and looked at remixes I have done, and remixes that were done for me. It floors me that this is my
fourth time doing the annual remix. Wow. Time flies.
