I didn't get a chance to do anything today, so tomorrow I have to give it a quick go-over before I send it in to my writers' group.<br /><br />Laura, Lorelei, Elizabeth, Tara, and Alex, thank you!<br /><br />Prerna, that's exactly how I feel. It makes me nervous but I do push myself more.<br /><br />M Pax, it's a good day when you only hate a few sentences!<br /><br />Michael, since you're from the future, you have a lot of time, so you don't need to rush. ;)<br /><br />Tania, thanks! I'll be sending it your way this week.<br /><br />Shannon, it makes total sense. <br /><br />Farawayeyes, absolutely!<br /><br />Pk, just that little box in my right bar where everyone can see it makes me have that much more energy! Hehehe, thank you.<br /><br />Laura, writing short stories is hard for me too. I love writing novels. Yet I've found writing short stories has taught me a lot about the craft of writing. It's helped me become a better writer. Plus, getting a few published is nice too!Christine Rainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263694662585963900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568117157220074400.post-15888568661648183232012-01-07T17:00:46.920-05:002012-01-07T17:00:46.920-05:00Well done!

I wish I had the ability to write good short stories, I think I lack that gene, all my short stories turn into short novels instead lol.<br />I seem to push myself harder now that I have a blog and actively tell people what I have set out to do. It's the not wanting to admit that I failed lol.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568117157220074400.post-86439719128446002082012-01-07T08:52:40.036-05:002012-01-07T08:52:40.036-05:00definitely!

I'm going to try to edit it tonight or early tomorrow, so I can get it back to you with some time to make changes.<br /><br />I think it's an awesome idea to create a tally for it on the blog. I did one for my 2012 goals by creating a page on my blog. I always push myself harder when other people are watching. I think that's why I rocked NaNo so hard, at least until the 50k.Cherie Reichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16663147386014122939noreply@blogger.com
