Prologue: A Study in Pink
Nov. 18th, 2012 11:14 amSo... my prologue is ten thousand words and actually completely boring. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN.
It's just a retelling of A Study in Pink. Didn't even manage to work in any of the metaphorical resonances I wanted. DAMMIT. Ugh. So... yeah. Boring!
A lot of this, then, has already been posted here, and a lot hasn't, but it's a single complete section so I'm posting it all together here so I don't have to figure out which bits are new and you, dear readers, don't have to figure out which bits fit where.
I'm seriously tempted to count the words in John Green's prologue and then try to cut this down to that length. Surely some of this shit don't matter, right?
Or maybe this can be Part One: The Strings, and the prologue will be... something else.
UGH UGH UGH I'M SO BAD AT STORY
