RE: Constrained Writing Contest #26 + Winners of Constrained Writing Contest #25

~hides~
I have a whole folder full of: "Document1, Document2, Document7219"
and obscurely titled things such as: "Freezey Woman, Timetravelling Bigfoot, Snow Elves"

Freezey Woman was actually somewhat done! A first chapter to a Fallout-esque universe because that was on my mind a lot at the time. :D

What I call my "proper writings" are only slightly better arranged! Haha! I have a folder for each story of my trilogy, and in each folder is: "Book 1, attempt" "attempt 23" "forest chapter" "final edition" "final edition again" ~ LOL

Anyway, my problem is that I'm a thinker. I can think of one sentence, and then I sit there and ponder the directions, I choose a direction and keep going, then I think some more. It's what's stopping me from joining the Freewrites also. I can't just let my mind wander. :(

Sigh.
Like, with this journal entry constraint, I thought of this:

16th Sept. I saw her again last night. Her radiant eyes agleam beneath the shroud of her auburn mane; she beckons, and I ignore, just as they told me to. She is not real.
And then... there was nothing! :o
Sort:  

I always have a sentence pop to mind as well! Then I'm like... well... what more do I need to put around it to make it the most enjoyable? What can lead up to this sentence that popped into my head?
Many of my freewrites begin by using the word in a sentence I want to use it in... then just make everything else fall in place, haha :D
If that makes sense? :P

Now I want to know how it continues!
