Sidetrack story

NaNoWriMo is over for this year. I exceeded my expectations greatly.

I however ended up with tunnel vision. As much as I tried, I couldn't think of anything writing wise that wasn't connected to my book.

So, I forced myself to pick a random picture on my phone and write about it.

As luck would have it, it was an image of a pigs head.

I genuinely found it at the end of some bungalows while walking dogs doing my day job. 

I found it weird making a story about a photo, but I will more than likely do it in future more. 

Must say my writing style changed alot midway after I had a 2 day break from it. Turned into some weird sci-fi ending, something I really wasn't expecting, but enjoyed. 

Yesterday I attempted to type up 7 pages of scrawl and it took me around 5 hrs. I hammered twitter and Facebook alot while blasting AC-DC in a well hidden procrastination session. 

Now it's time to edit. I have no idea what I'm doing really. But rereading as I typed it up, I'm aware I need to polish turd into a gorgeous gem. 

Wish me luck.
