ive been writing short stories these last few months (check the #prose tag on my page if you'd like) and im going to continue doing it since i still enjoy it, though tbh im not super happy with some of them, and i feel that even while i write them or when i post them. but i think the more important thing is that i am writing things, finishing them, and putting them out there. i keep thinking about bill wurtz's strategy of just releasing smaller things before bigger things and its a good strategy! because you get experience making the whole thing and you get to show completed projects to people you wouldnt get to if you immediately made something big.
im gonna keep writing short stories even after i start writing longer ones (i have a novella in the works hehe) so its not just something to start with but its important to remind myself that sometimes i will write shit but at least, unlike before, im actually writing!!!
