I don't want to talk about it.

Suffice it to say there'll be a story going live on the 25th. At the moment I hate everything about it. Which is what happens every year. At some point, hopefully within the next three days, I'll hear that elusive click. I think I've written at least 3000 new words, most of which I erased again. I'm still blaming the prompts :D

OK, so I talked about it. Luckily my shopping is done and I'm not working this week so I can sit and stare at the computer for hours on end! I'll let you know the final verdict next Monday.

Happy Holidays everyone!

Kudos on posting! It's really hard to be rational about things you've just completed; it might just turn into gold overnight, without you needing to so much as touch it. Good luck, anyway!

I'm working on it--if only I had another month or two :D It won't be the worst story in the bunch, but that alone doesn't make me happy.

I genuinely enjoyed the excerpts.

Here's hoping it will turn out to be much better than you think it is at the moment! Good luck!

Thanks! Some stories are just not going to reach their full potential, I'm pretty terrible at dealing with other people's prompts!

How frustrating. I hope that that "click" arrives, whether that's realising that it is fine as it is, or finding the thing you need to make it work for you.

It'll be ok. It just won't be the pearl in my oeuvre ;)
