Procrastination. It’s a nasty little dragon that often grows ginormous at the most inconvenient times. For instance, the last week of NaNoWriMo. It will bring in other things such as a new shelf that needs a place in the living room which facilitates an entire…[Read more]

I have taken note of all your suggestions. 😉 But, sadly, I will be out of the house all day today. I don’t know if I’ll be able to make the changes before the deadline, but we’ll see! But if one of you would like to try and make the changes yourself, be my guest!

The second story does fit the prompt better, but life is not about writing prompts. (You all can find the original under version history.) I liked the first version better because it was more…[Read more]

Well, I rewrote the story in the same document. I think the sun is more of the focus now, and it’s about two pages shorter than the first story. What do you think?

Thanks. 🙂

Yes, it was. I will work on making it more the center of the story like @christianna-hellwig suggested.
