I have two ideas for my TIME story and I'm very excited about them both! I've also written the first draft already, but I haven't really thought of the story structure yet. It's now 12:48 AM but my mind is on hyper-drive. My hands are itching to put my ideas into written form. I hope I do this story well. I'm so happy because I haven't had great story ideas for some time, probably because I'm just really so stressed about everything.
I'm not really going to tell what my stories are going to be about, but I do tell you that they will be depressing. What? This is my forte. I am the queen of emotional trainwrecks! And I make it my business to rampage over people's feels, just how my favourite types of books and shows make me feel so many feels. Anyways, I'm starting to not make sense so I better end it here. Good night! (As if I'm sleeping yet, I"ll probably not) I've been entering the annual Oxford University Press Short Story Writing Competition for 2 years but I haven't won. But that won't stop me!!! This year I'm entering again! And I hope to reach the finals this time because the topic this year is TIME! It is one of m personal favourites and I've tackled it before in some of the short stories I've written before, including ones in my book "Awry".
Up until recently (yesterday), I've been thinking about not entering because of the sheer amount of work that I have yet to finish. But then again, I thought that there'd be no harm in trying. So now here I am, racking my brain for any story ideas. Whether I win or not, I'll be keeping the story and possibly improving it later on and adding it to a new short story collection I'll soon be working on. |
