Well, to quote a certain hatter, we’re all mad here.
I love hearing people’s thoughts, on whatever it may be. That’s how we understand each other, I think.
When I write poetry, there’s often a phrase or just a word. I write it down, and the rest follows. If that makes any sense. Everyone’s process is different, and I love that. Same with writing stories.
I've only written for one anthology before this one... But now my story for the Snapped theme is practically finished already; just needs beta and editing. It's interesting, because when I read the themes I realised I had a story I started ages ago but never got anywhere with (I had like two scenes written) would fit really well, so I got that one out of hibernation. The whole thing changed, of course, but I guess maybe this is why it didn't take me longer than this to write it. At 10k words it's the longest short story I've written to date.
It's kind of weird that I haven't participated in more anthologies, given how much I like writing short stories... Out of my 39 stories, only 6 are novels or novellas.
Morning, DiC! Hope you're all well today.
It's warmer and thawing here, but today it's very misty as well. Need to stop by school to drop off my doctor's note so I don't have to pay tuition even though I quit... New rules, apparently. Crazy.
I was showing boyfriend some of my poetry and he was saying how he could never really get into it. Then he read one and it took him about three seconds cause he was reading so quickly and I was like, no wonder you can't get into poetry when you don't give yourself the time to take it in, lol!
