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.
I'm so excited! I have tons to do before, but I'm a mess of nerves.
ReplyDeleteGahhhh! I'm so excited, too!!!! I've got things to get done though...laundry...clean my house...do some insurance billing stuff for a client...plan a bridal shower...make a scrapbook for a wedding gift...etc Maybe it will take my mind off of the nervousness. But I have a feeling, I'm going to be sneaking onto the Facebook page several times today!
