Day: April 2
Project: Campfire Story!
Wordcount/progress: 424
Notes and quotes: I started writing some kind of "prologue" - some stuff which happened before first entries to make sure that stuff makes at least some sense. Quote for today is so far:
And so here I am - with a coffin in hands and a manic look in my eyes because I can't find toothpaste on the drugstore's shelves. Let's be honest, this is not my best moment.
It's Kay, babe!

Notes and quotes:
But since there was a shortage of physics teachers, she remained in the position of a professional torturer (specializing in formulas, chalk scribbling, and exams which looked like materials for CIA-level of encycription).
