A place for me to write.

Lesson Learned Today

I’ve been hoping to keep my current short stories coming daily. Spend a 2-3 hours a day writing different stories and keep moving. Unfortunately, I got a little ambitious with this last one and after over 5 hours realized I was about 3/4 of the way through. I wanted to have a more full story and I did. It’s just longer and I need to stop for the day.

So, I will continue it tomorrow and post it then. From now on, I’ll try to monitor my length better so I don’t spend too much time on any one story. These are meant to be exercises and if I like the route they’re taking then, in the future, I can expand on it.

In the meantime, I recorded a podcast with my friend Teej yesterday, who has been key in inspiring me to write again. Check it out!

Edit: So apparently I wasn’t 3/4 of the way but 1/2. I about doubled the word count before finishing up the story late last night. Looking back, I definitely see where I could have ended this and just made it a cute interaction without the drama and action.
