Writing that is not mine

My friend amatsubu is challenging herself to write every day and she's posting her writing bits to LJ. Thus far, she has two linked drabbles telling the beginnings of a story.

Go read them and tell her to write more because I want to know what happens next! ^____^

That point

I am starting to get to that point where I'm hating how long this story is. I've always written shorter stories, mostly due to lack of attention span. This one is so complicated that it needs to be a long story, which I understand, but it's still frustrating to write and write and write and feel like I've gotten nowhere.

I know that's not true, I can look back and see the little steps that we've taken to get from there to here, but still. I find myself asking "Is it over yet?" and then realizing that, no, I still have a long way to go. *sigh*

Maybe it will get better once I finally get to introduce Sam. That, at least, I am looking forward to. Sam is epic. And may be my favorite side character even though she hasn't even been introduced yet. :3
