in the back of McD’s, whole gang there,
kicking it w happy meals,
in ball pit, packed / crowded, enjoying every minute,
checking out which wassie got what happy meal toy
& negotiating trade / hedging bets,
as such is the way of the wassie & how many got into market trading in the first place.
*
platy was looking at duk.
“which McDs teeny beany baby did you get?”
duk wasn’t looking so hot.
“tink me accidentally ate ball.”
chick swam over in the ball pit, pointed.
“think piggie is drowning.”
like rolling in mud,
piggie was peddling legs,
uncomfortably kicking up ball-pit commotion,
a foot of which kicked a poker hands out bear’s paw.
“there’s too many wassies in ball pit!”
bear threw piggie at the wall,
hit the Ball Pitt ‘Max Occupancy: 3’ sign
*
meanwhile, the uproar of the McDs strike was growing.
enraging.
suddenly, banging at the door,
“they want they’re pancakies.”
“there’s not enough room to hide.”
“what are we going to do?!”
“smol ting was s’posed to sabe us.”
“hey has anyone seen smol ting?”
duk pointed to the slide.
“he went dat way like 30 min. ago.”
“may smolting found hiding place.”
“shh. don’t say too loud. ebryone get in & climb the slide.”
“wat?”
“climb d slide?”
fat toad stood there a minute, about 10x too big.
“me no tink me can fit.”
in the front room, a shatter of glass was heard / the strikers, making an entrance.
“den you may be cooked for dem plump frog legs.”
suddenly the wassies were charging, single file, one-by-one,
climbing the slide

notes on writing
+
7
three challenges right now
interface (design of how to best realtime stream a story . .)
story (beyond chapters 1-12 (of 30) only one-line sentence outline complete)
newness (getting use to how to do / what to include i.e. notes as this?)
/ / three angles to figure
+
6
sometimes i number notes
when the practice is more write
when the focus is more order
+
5
so this is a style of writing
that’s almost closer to “an outline”
in terms of turn of events turning
more close / w less fluff / along scoot
of freytag pyramid & story structure such
+
speed
focus
story
+
liking this writing model so far
but now that syntax / format figured out
really have to work on going faster / like rn
+
also typically take notes going up,
so fresh note is on top / first one see
most times take notes in threes
+
& thinking write-notes will go here . . .
one thing that kinda makes this stream rn slow & difficult
is figuring out the best way to do this & kinda making up on the go
