How to write 1,000 words in 1 hour

bro idfk I'm pissed because I take like 3 hours to write 1,000 words

I think the first thing to address is the micro-script sheet.

I need to get rid of me staring at a wall for 30 minutes thinking of the right way to name or describe something. Maybe I should just describe sheet in a general sense so that I don't waste 7 years of my life away.

Let's try. Whatever I have down below is what I typed in 1 hour

__________________________

Scene: A student trying to eat lunch but 3 girls come up to him fight over him. (harem lighthearted comedy?)

MC deals with a ___-___ ___

MC: stock MC ___ ___ ig, ___ ___ ___

Sakura: Resourceful, Determinedly Fraudulent ___, ___ ___ ___

Mona: Quietly Crude (offensively coarse or explicit, especially in relation to sexual matters.) ___, ___ ___ ___

Ai: Courteous, Unstably Obedient (sometimes obedient and sometimes not) ___, ___ ___ ___

42-mins left.

Scene breakdown:

It's lunchtime at a pseudo-college and MC is eating alone.

conflict starts...

Sakura sits in front of him and asks if he's struggling with any of his classes

MC says that he's struggling a bit with foreign lang class, but nothing too dire.

Sakura says that she can help him raise his grades through "certain" means. 

MC, suspicious, declines because he has a 94%, which is a decent enough grade.

Sakura says that she can guarantee full 100% grades for all his desired classes next sem.

MC says that full 100s is suspicious for his caliber and he declines. 

Sakura then asks if he's interested in her giving him money.

MC asks why and that she was wasting money for someone she didn't personally know. 

Sakura says that she just wanted to be nice and that there was no strings attached. 

MC says no. 

Sakura gives a huge sigh. 

MC and Sakura sort of have a silent face-off.

Sakura asks him if he's ever been interested in the hacking before.

MC says he doesn't want to hack.

But Sakura elaborates that it's hacking to strengthen systems against bad hackers. White hat hacking as she says.

MC says that he's always wanted to learn how to code, but was always too busy doing other things.

Sakura offers to teach him white hat hacking.

MC says what her conditions were.

Sakura says nothing, except that she was going to teach him and her apartment unit.

MC asks if she trusts him that much.

Sakura says that it's her only condition and that it was non-negotiable

MC has a think and says sure, ig. 

Sakura says that it's a deal and offers her hand

MC tries to shake her hand, but another hand blocked the way

Ai asks for forgiveness for rudely interrupting their conversation. Ai steps away and gives a bow while both MC and Sakura look.

MC notices a camera in the bush behind Ai. 

Ai tells them that she heard all of it and to not trust Sakura and that if he needed to learn white hat hacking, Ai could just teach him.

Sakura asks her what an (insert coding term) means.

Ai, after a period of silence, answers that it is a coding term.

Sakura says that Ai doesn't even know a lick of coding and to stop bluffing. 

MC stops both of them and says sorry because he's trying to look for something.

MC points to the bush and shouts for whoever was behind that to stand up.

A head and arms holding a camera pop up.

The slowly pops out of the bush.

"I... I-I heard all of it too... hehe..." Mona says.

While all watch in silence, Mona slowly creeps over to him and shows him the pictures.

"I-If you d-don't date me..." "I'll release a-all of t-this!" Mona shows a picture of his shoe, "that" part of his pants, and a close up of his mouth eating food.

MC comments on how these blackmail pictures were too absurd and tells all of them to just give him a moment to process everything that has happened.

Welp, honestly, I didn't even get to make the micro-script (the actual prose) yet, so I literally just spent the whole hour trying to make a part of this scene. Ewww. Additionally, maybe I shouldn't have made 3 girls go fight over him at lunch. I actually was fine with the Sakura bit. Still though, maybe having Ai was fine and adding Mona was too much. But I made a prompt to have 3 girls fight over him so I had no choice but to follow through. Oh well. 

In conclusion, I'm too slow to write a 1,000-word prose in 1 hour, which is super duper lame. That means I'll really have to make the micro-script fast in order to compensate. That means I'll probably try to do the actual prose next chapter.

No, I won't continue planning the scene next chapter cuz I don't care. So sook it, beach.

What I'll be planning next chapter is to experiment on how to cut corners to write the prose faster...

f novel-writing, so annoyingly slow
