Short Story X: Finished
Yesterday I finished up short story x and can now safely reveal the current title: "It was just perfect." Now begins the long-ass process of revising. It topped out at 16 pages double-spaced, which is a little too long for me. I may have to cut it down. Funny: I started off writing about one thing but somewhere along the way some of the characters hijacked the story and took over. Plus there's a visciousness to it at the end that makes me squirm a little.
But yeah, I'm giving myself a big pat on the back for finishing this one up so quickly, even if no one but me and R and maybe my sister (she reads everything I write, god bless her) know about it.
Sometimes? Life is just plain good.
