Writing four short stories in September was ambitious for me. Although meeting the challenge was hard, it was just what I needed to get back into writing fiction. I got these first drafts started, and now I can take them to the next level. These story ideas were ones I’ve thought about for a long time. One story has been in the works for years. I lost the first draft I wrote and never forgot about it, so I began it again with a different angle. These stories still don’t feel complete, but I will have to put more time into them to make them work.
Time will always be a factor when writing, but I am working on setting myself up for success. I’ll have some extra time to write this month, so I will take advantage of this opportunity. This will mean getting out of the house to write so that I won’t have the usual distractions. With no internet, it will be much easier to focus.
Are you managing to make time for projects you enjoy?
Is there a creative outlet you have been meaning to pursue?
Well done for completing your challenge. I’m gutted I didn’t manage it myself, but it has helped me reassess my workload so something positive has come out of it.
Thanks, Heather. I’m also adjusting my goals this month to make them more attainable with my schedule. Best wishes to you!
