Writing Attempt

Early in April 2024, I signed up for a writing course. We are the tail-end of it, and to close it off we are to submit a 5000-word short story. I'm doing mine now & honestly I have SO MANY STORIES to tell. [Choose ONE, the course facilitator had said].

The real challenge is always the actual writing. If I feel like I was running on empty, or the fingers are ready to type but the brain is slowing down, or I spend minutes or hours not sure of what to write, that's it really- writing has its blockages sometimes, and when it's good it's really swell. When it is good the ideas flow, I write very smoothly with fluent vocabulary, and the connections are made effortlessly. [This is normal, many people say]

I have good days, I also have not-so-great days. Same with the PhD writing, WHICH I MUST FINISH!

Hence my dear, all the best and keep going. The book short story is waiting to be written 😘
