How I did it: It took me a long time because I never had complete closure, and something kept bringing me back. But I finally got the closure I needed. I realize now that no matter what his feelings are for me, it will never happen. Now I can move on to more important things. Read how I did it…
I’ve started editing a couple old stories. I realize that I write in the passive voice too often, so I’m going to have to change that. One or two more edits and I’ll start sending two of them out. The third one I’d like to work on will take much longer. I wrote it as a short story but I think it would work much better as a novella. Maybe that could be a NaNo project.
I’m not sure if I’ll have the time. But I didn’t really have the time last year and I was able to finish (with 3 hours to spare!). And I really need to force myself to write more. If I can come up with a good outline in the next few weeks I think this will be a good opportunity to get a rough draft done.
