I haven’t written about my writing for a while. Although I attended a few events and posted some articles about reading and books, I haven’t published any updates. Am I becoming lazy? Am I giving up writing? Absolutely no!
In these days, I’ve worked hard on a short story. I’m quite satisfied with the outcome, although I still need to improve and polish the final version of it. The writing of this story didn’t take that long, to be honest – I had everything in my mind. What took more than what I had expected was the editing. I usually don’t plan anything when I write a short story. Everything comes out of my mind as it is, then, when I put down the second draft, I start tidying things up. This time, the writing of the second draft overwhelmed me. Among new twists and corrections, I went through a serious rewriting and editing process which dried my energy out. I’m happy, though. The short story has come out as I wanted. Now, it’s time to think about what to do with it. My main wish is to submit it to a mystery fiction magazine. If things go well, they might be interested in my work. I just need a few feedbacks from beta readers, and I’ll send it over. My novella. “The fear eater” is my second project. I had written that I was going to publish it, and that’s exactly what I want to do. I received interesting and encouraging comments about it. I now need to write the suggested changes and rewrite some parts, and I might consider it ready for the readers. I hope to be able to finish it by the beginning of the summer. I only have one doubt left: shall I go for self-publishing or traditional? I haven’t yet thought about that seriously, and, however, I still have time. Here we are, this is what has happened during these snowy and cold weeks. See you, as usual, the next Thursday. Cheers!
