Took the stress of deadlines off my head, but still I’m getting shorter every day. I do intend to rework a couple of my own stories, as I’ve mentioned but procrastinated long enough to no longer worry about it. If I get something done, fine; if not, that’s okay too.
Working now on someone else’s stories as well as honing both story and editing skills on several run online. The problem seems to be that I cannot find an online group nor local one that shares the interests and level of enthusiasm, and particularly in the case of online, genre. No, not overrun with romance as I would have suspected, but rather sci fi and fantasy with a touch of mystery tossed in. Very little literary or even short story writers post at sites or belong to the local groups, and even the reading circles seem to be caught up with just the latest novel that’s been hyped.
Noticed today via if:book a post regarding workshopping methods and atmosphere, and a nice link to GAM3R7H30RY which presents an interesting form of online workshopping that includes input and ideas.
