I had mentioned a while ago that I had received a rejection for a short story. After letting a few friends look it over (silently asking “WHHHYYYY?” in my dramatic fashion) and seeing the problems throughout, I thought I’d take a look at it myself.
Now, five or so years after it was finished, I’m starting to see what is wrong with the story. I can at least take pride in the fact that I’ve gained more experience in that time, right?
Now, this isn’t me saying that I’m putting my other WIPs on the shelf to fix this; those are still my priorities for writing. But if I can whittle away at this on occasion, and make it publishable, I can get my name out there while I keep working.
I just gotta figure out how to make a tornado in a vacuum!
Yup, you read that right.
Stay safe out there, folks. Keep writing!
