I know it’s not good to hold on to ideas that don’t make the cut when it comes to publishing, but I want to make one specific argument on keeping rejected stories: they’re just damn fun to write.
I don’t honestly know how to look at a story idea and not have multiple stories attached to the one idea. When I sent out my submissions, I had planned on building them into more than one short story. In one case, I wanted to write a series of short stories that followed a single narrative. But the submissions did not make the cut with the publisher, so they’ve just been sitting in my Documents folders, gathering digital dust.
I do plan on reworking the story ideas into other ideas, but that’s a ways down the line. For now, I just want to enjoy the ideas as they are, and I’d like other people to them. So, I’m adding on to my Story Writing page!
I have one series in particular that I’ve always wanted to work on, plus a few fan-fics that are just fun story ideas to play with. When I finish a chapter or a short story, I’ll put them up here for perusal.
