agilebritThe Superhero Christmas story is not pinging me. At all. So, I'm setting it aside, at least until tomorrow, and working on edits for the Revelator instead.
It's funny to come back to something you haven't seen in a couple of weeks. That thing about "fresh eyes" is definitely valid. I didn't even remember my wordcount for the thing--turns out it was a hair over 4500, which is well within the 5000-word limit, so go, me. Apparently I can do "short" if pressed.
The good news is, I like the story. The bad news is that it needs a title. Of course. And it needs more... something. Emotion, I think, which is always my weak spot. Fortunately, I have plenty of wiggle room, and about a week before it's due. My Writing Buddy has the raw file, and I'll run it past the Hubby and (probably) the Usual Suspects once I've solved the emotions problem..
So. I didn't write much today, but I've done a couple of editing passes and I refuse to think of myself as a failure. Scribbling nearly 40,000 words in a month, across five stories, is not a Fail.
