I think there is a good story in there, with a good central idea, but I'm just not doing it right. And as a friend pointed out to me, the story is in such a state that after I finish the first draft I'm going to have to start over and rewrite the whole thing. So it's time to stop spinning my wheels on that thing for a while and go a different direction, because what it's really doing right now is eating up my time with minimal gain to show for it.D.

I agree, though, that the best thing can be letting it marinate- or ferment- or whatever happens to stories on the shelf, to make it better than ever.<br /><br />Good luck and lots of inspiration to you!<br />LenkaLenkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03832791375861465119noreply@blogger.com
