Creativity is still flowing!
Hello all! Well, I’ve just finished the first draft of the second story last night. Just under 20,000 words. I never expected it to be that long. I also listened to podcast about writing a certain type of story (I don’t want to give away the contents) and it’s exactly what I needed. I’m pretty sure the revisions will push the story up to 25,000 words or more!
Also today, I finished the research on the third story in the new collection. This one takes place in Europe, but I won’t tell you where. I love writing stories about characters in other countries like I did with the story ‘Whispers of Cusco’ in my Revelations of Evil Collection. I base this story on one of the small contest stories I entered last year. The prompts for the contest are amazing and give me many story ideas.
This third story will require a little more research to pull everything into a single coherent plot. I can already see it in my mind. Sometime soon, I’ll start looking for a fourth story to make sure this writing kick I’m on doesn’t stall out.
Don’t worry, I haven’t abandoned my novel. It’s nearing the end, but I needed something different to get the creative juices flowing again. I’ll keep you informed of its progress. See ya!
