Finished a story that I started just the other day and turned it in for workshop. Did my best to catch things as they were written but I’d really consider this a first draft. Won’t say what I’ll be working on as far as repairs in the second draft, but there’s much work to be done and it’s not a matter of cutting out, but emphasizing and building the character and the story.
Deadlines are deadlines, however, and I should’ve shoved my muse a bit harder into working sooner to get a more relevant story line.
