A little over a month ago, I decided and also announced here, that I’d do a prep-tober challenge. Which I then put on the shelf of “to do later” things. And forgot. It happens, right?

And then I remembered it in Thursday, and spend the evening panicking to find something that felt like the right fit for me. Luckily, I came across an account with just the right kind of writing prompts for me. So I started copying them over to my bullet journal. When I was almost at the end,three or four rows left, I realize I’ve missed to fill out one somewhere. Wishfully I start from the bottom, hoping it would be close to there and that it wouldn’t matter to be a few days later.

No luck! The missed line was “The Main Story Conflict” and it was supposed to be on day 7. One can’t just skip that to the end, I’m sure you’ll agree with me. And I was writing in ink (and did a while lot of typos!). So the 7th gets two prompts for me, and I have a catch up day on the 31st!

So despite starting a few days late, I’ve basically caught up until today. And today I have a big decision to make. Will the antagonist be a villain, a person, or just an event. I hadn’t fully made up my mind for starters, then I heard in a youtube clip that it could also be an event or circumstance, which seemed cool, and I was thinking of going for that. But then again, is it enough to build my story around?

Maybe I’ll be deciding a few times back and fourth on this, and that’s ok. I need to keep reminding myself that I don’t need to get it right from the start. It’s ok to adjust later on too.

What important decisions do you have for this Saturday? Are they set in stone or reversible?
