I can work on a bit of micro-fiction even when my wife has the television on. Short stories fall somewhere in the middle. It's also a great way to try out new things.C. S.

Love that you are writing as that is what successful writers do. Work work work. I wrote a novel and had the next four planned out but after going through the process of all the different letters with yada yada yada and seeking agents, I realized it was just all consuming for me. I couldn't do anything else and finally gave up. I proud of you for keeping at it as I know how hard it is.donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4681493665397789843.post-23640580242396423632016-09-13T09:12:55.910-04:002016-09-13T09:12:55.910-04:00Thank you so much, Mae.
