The blackberry brambles along the driveway are thriving and I’m looking forward to the summer ritual of pricking my fingers and skirts on thorns as I reach for a tiny burst of sweetness that stains me purple every time I get junk mail.
@aimeeogden Thank you! And yeah, I'm productive enough in other areas that I feel just fiiiiiine letting ideas simmer for quite a while before trying to write them out these days.
@Annalee Thank you!
@abetterjulie thanks!
One of the stories I sold this week I wrote back in 2017. It's been revised something like 6 times, and I didn't even start sending it out until 2019 where it started rounding up form rejections (9 of them in total).
I write first drafts super fast, but getting to a finished product takes me a while, and sending things out is a long haul, too. Patience and persistence pays off, and it's more than ok to be slow.
Signed another story contract today - that's two this week! This is shaping up to be a good year for my writing, which is odd, because I haven't actually *written* a darn thing in months. I've done some revising, but my creative brain is just not there right now. It's ok. I have a big backlog of stories and poems to be sending out, and sometimes it just takes a while.
