I just figured out what this story's missing!

HUZZAH.

• Thu, 15:28: *sigh* I am just not thrilled with this story. Feel like I'm phoning it in, & it's just laying there, cold & lifeless, on the page.
• Thu, 18:19: Bleh. I'm just going to dive into edits on the story that has a July 4 deadline. Apparently my Writer Brain has gone on vacation.
• Thu, 18:30: Oh, wow. This story is only 4500 words long. How did that happen? I guess I can do short if I'm doing it to spec. #stunned
• Thu, 19:45: And there's an editing pass done. It's a pretty solid little story.
• Thu, 20:09: So, okay. I'm not giving up, but-- http://t.co/4R6ondAvQt
