The Good:
Starla flung off her seatbelt and scratched at the door handle. Michelle leaned over and grabbed a fistful of Starla’s hair, pulling her back.
“Ah…” Starla reared around and slapped Michelle with all of her strength. Michelle’s head snapped back, and Starla pulled away from her grip. Michelle reached under her seat, her hand dancing over the floor. Starla cried out and kicked open the door and then the gun was forced into her back. She stopped and stretched her hands out to either side. Michelle put her chin on Starla’s shoulder, her heavy breaths warm and moist against her ear.
“I’m not going to lose you.”
And Starla knew what she had to do. Just this once, Starla thought. Or I’m never going to make it out alive.

Daily Stumbling Block:
I'm forsaking all stumbling blocks for now and just writing as fast as I can. I'm tired of spending twenty minutes on one sentence. So, for now, I am writing what comes to mind, and, as far as I know, it's going okay.

Random Thought:
You can download a picture of a dog smoking a cigarette, and the total size of the file is about 3 megabytes. My story, the one I have been bleeding and sweating over for many months, is about 100 kilobytes. 1 megabyte is about 1000 kilobytes (actually 1024 kilobytes). So that means my story is 1/3,000 the size of a photo of a dog smoking a cigarette.
My conclusion is: size doesn't matter. But you are welcome to make your own.
