Rough Writing

I’m working on “Falling Stars” tonight, which will be posted Friday, and it is really hard to work on it. I am struggling to finish it, struggling really to bring some emotion into the characters and actually feel good about the piece. At this point I am going to finish roughing it in and then let my number one fan read it and let me know what kind of emotional impact it has, if I’m even doing anything write in the piece or if I should just post it. I’m struggling to write sub-1000 meaningful short stories. “Falling Stars” is just supposed to be me exercising describing combat so maybe I’ll just have to leave it at that and not worry too much about how much impact it has.

I’m so happy I’m doing this, even as much as it frustrates me and fills me with dread that someone will look at my writing and cry ‘horib-ley!’ while pelting me with offal. Good thing this is a blog on the internet.
