Flying blind on story 4 but I'm hopeful.
I've got story 3 out for feedback. I'm expecting the worst and let her know not to worry. But I need a fresh set of eyes on it to let me know exactly what state things are in.
So story 4, time to come up with an overview of events...
UPDATE 6:08 pm- I'm not being upfront about how I'm feeling. Completely lost.
Sometimes it works to post the details here, because I need someone to talk to about it, so it may as well be me.
I'm so sad. The 1st story has amazing potential (from what my biased opinion can tell) to find readers. Story 2 is kind of ok, but maybe a little weak on the ending. Story 3 is ok but not well written, with almost no ending.
And now story 4 is about nothing. [...cut/cut/cut...]
I might be on to something here. Will post update soon.
UPDATE 2 (7:40pm): Yay, something is starting to shake loose, truly starting to shape up. Lots and lots of holes still but very exciting. I love the direction if I can pull this off. and I have a very strong contender for scene 1/hook
It could actually rival story 1 in my affections, which is what I was really hoping would happen.
But how to tell it in so few words. very interesting question. Definintely NO room for fluff!
(about 850 words, backstory work)
