via Pinterest It has been a while since I penned a short story. Usually it takes something like a "short story contest" to inspire me. But I have noticed my writing skills improve with each contest so there is something to be said for writing short stories. I say all this to lead into the fact that I am going to try another short story. There is no contest looming on the horizon, but it has been so long that I think I am due to write a short piece. Life cannot be entirely devoted to novel-length plots... I am rolling around different ideas in my head. There is no one to give me the first three words or a picture to base my story on. There are no restrictions, no props, and no judges. Methinks I will try something that is both epic and ordinary...something I have seen before. After all, personal experience, great things, and the expression of the ordinary are part of what makes a story.
You seem to have a lot of good stories in working! Are we able to read any online or are you just holding people in suspense?
ReplyDeleteHi, anonymous!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I am glad that you like the story ideas I have in the works! It is always great to hear feedback like that.
Right now, you will have to content yourself with the quotes and scenes that I post and the occasional short story. You can look back through my archives for that. I don't have any full-length stories available to read online. I wouldn't want to spoil a story before it is published. ;)
Hopefully the wait (and suspense) will be worth it, and I think it will. However, I would love to hear about types of posts you would like to read between now and then. And if I have enough people interested in regular posting of short stories, I am happy to do that as well.
Thank you again for commenting and I hope to hear from you more in the future.
