finished first draft of entry to next npr contest.  they didn’t want ‘we have built a house for you;’ i felt it was sufficiently creepy, but i guess i suck at structure so that was probably the problem.  i can’t seem to write with a predetermined structure, just the acknowledgment of structure as valuable seems to dissolve my ability to write freely, so this leaves me with writing the story first, letting it tell me what it wanted to say, and then adding the structure afterward.  maybe i just enjoy making more work for myself.
