Living the Fictional Dream

Thanks to last night’s write-in with my writing group (and fellow attendees Stephanie and Sandra), I managed to finally finish the flash piece that I’ve been working on for a couple of months. And, after that, I popped it in an email and sent it off to the market it was written for. We will see if they like it!

Either way, it was a nice sense of accomplishment to actually finish a story this year. There hasn’t been enough of that lately. I know I have my excuses (all called pregnancy, LOL!), but it felt nice to actually finish a story and get it out the door.

Maybe I need to make myself a small but managable goal for the next few months. If I could make myself sit down for, say, two hours a week and either write or dust off stories for submissions, that would at least be a little progress. I don’t want to put too much pressure on myself, but I also don’t like slipping into the void of absolutely no progress.

Hmmm… something to think about anyway.

Happy writing everyone (especially Virginia and Dauna who have challenged themselves to write a story a day for the next two weeks)!
