The Choices Are Endless

Feb 28, 2010 Daily Writing, Short Stories

So I stripped out the back end of D-dad and took a different direction.  The story’s wound up at about 3,400 words, now and I think it’s pretty much in its final form.

Here’s a not-so-secret secret.  Writing a 10,000 word story doesn’t take much longer than writing a 3,000 word story.  For me, anyway.  Sure, it takes a little longer–a few hours–just in raw creation of words.  But the bulk of the work (again, for me, anyway) required to create fiction is focused on creating story, which is a lot different from creating words.

Now I get to decide what to write next.

New short?

Back to a novel?

Second novel in the Glamour series?

The choices seem endless — but that’s only because they are.
