I Knew
Yep this is the same project as last year but with new goals!
About the project:
Spoiler
The kid was a stranger...The kind you might find taking a lonely glass of wine late at night to alleviate difficult feelings he was too young to already be dealing with. That could explain why he drove his vehicle off the ridge and entangled it in a tree. Maybe it was the pleading Asian eyes, begging for a word of kindness after tasting the bitterness of the world outside the protection of his home. Maybe it was the soft, almost feminine voice, softened to a mere whisper by the harsh words said to it. Maybe it was the deep bleeding lines on his thighs, the only method he had found to scatter the voices in his head. Whatever it was that guided a proud heart to his defense, the simple request for aid could not be cast aside, forgotten in the back of the mind, or left unnoticed. It demanded that the screaming lies within the victim's mind be silenced with the truth that he had desperately tried to suppress and fantasize away... All beginning with two words: I knew.

Goals
1. Connect the scene with the car accident to the first hospital scene.
2. Post all chapters up to the Lakisha-at-the-hospital scene
3. Remember that writing is something to enjoy, not stress about :D

Feel free to ask questions or drop comments!

Day 1
-worked on the hospital scene again
-successfully defeated my overthinking side and gave editing one more shot before trying something else out. I think my editing was a success!!

Thanks @Spearmint!

Well...I did work on I Knew twice this week, but I kind of worked in a different place and the writing didn't go well. Very exhausted with nursing school. Hoping for better luck next year. :(

Going back to the beginning and working through those scenes again. But I'm back on track now I think.

Sometimes, you just have to carve out time for yourself. ^^

Okay whoops I forgot to update. But...uh...I'm working on the car accident scene. I suspect I'll be finished with that by the end of April. The rest will probably not be finished. But I'm really happy with how this car accident is going.
