Since I posted on January 25th what my immediate goals in writing are, I decided to follow up and report that I’ve been making progress.
I finished revising one of the short stories and have sent it to a couple of objective readers to see what they think. Once I have that feedback, I’ll revise again if needed and then submit it.
I’ve also added about 2,000 words to the latest story I’m working on. I had hoped that this would be a short story but it isn’t behaving that way, so I’m just going with it for now.
I hope all of your writing is going well. What are you working on?
This is great, Sherrie! You are making good progress!
I haven’t written lately, but I want to change that.
Thank you! I hope you get back to your writing. It’s hard to get going but once you do, it feels great. I hope I can keep up the momentum. Good luck and post about your progress!
Thanks for liking “fortunate?” All the best with your short story submissions. I didn’t know there are still short story markets.
There are a lot of online publications that specialize in short stories which is very exciting. Thank you!
Nice one on your progress. I just sent a story off for the Artist’s and Writer’s Yearbook competition. It’ll be a couple of months before I hear anything. Fingers crossed in the meantime
I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you too! Good luck! And thank you.
Glad you liked “far enough,” Sherrie. Thanks. And glad to learn about short story markets online. I did learn about and read a one-paragraph short story that some guy put on his blog. Though it was very short, I consider it a complete story because it contains a variation of the root principle of narrative art – a yearning for the return of a valued person that the narrator apparently drove away.
I’m happy that you liked “happiness,” Sherrie. Thanks very much.
