I have to
admit that my personal workload is rather ambitious at the moment, but I’m not
going to let that stop me.
Aside from
having my sights firmly set on having a collection of novellas out by the
middle of 2014 (I’m two stories in and I hope to add another one or two soon) I’m
also (still) managing to churn out at least two short stories a week that I
hope will find a home sooner rather than later. But regarding the latter, I’m
in no real rush. I’m just enjoying the trip.
If that wasn’t
enough, I’ve also committed myself to writing at least one short piece a day
because ... well ...firstly I actually wanted to see if I could do it. And
secondly, I wanted to get the seeds floating around my head out. That is not to
say they’re lesser ideas, because they’re not, they’re just ideas that seem to
spring up from time to time while I’m in the middle of writing when my muse
decides to take a metaphorical dump inside my head.
These
characters, and the stories themselves, are tiny notions of an idea that would
never stretch out into longer stories. But they work, I think, in little
portions. Something you can read over breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
And right now, despite one or two slight
technical difficulties, I’ve managed to keep relatively on track.
I suppose time will
tell if people get bored, but in the long run I hope I can put
something out there that people like, that they may consider sharing among
friends and family. I don’t know if it will happen, but I live in
hope. But if not, well, that's all right, that's just fine, because I'm doing this for fun. I'm spreading my literary wings - for better or worse - to see where it takes me.
And it is fun!
Still, it’s going
to be a long journey. One peppered with occasional potholes, I’m sure, but as of right
now I’m enjoying every minute of the walk I've got ahead of me. And, with a pinch of
luck, I hope everyone else is too.
Thanks for
reading.
