This is the second day since I trunked two dozen short stories in an effort to kickstart my productivity. I thought since I had no trouble creating eBooks for the 21st-Century Author that I would have momentum on my side when I returned to fiction. That seems not to be the case, and it’s frustrating.
I wrote nearly 1000 words yesterday on the short story that I’ve been spinning my wheels on for a month. I keep getting stopped at the same place, though I think the beginning portion is better now. Still, I got stuck again.
In an attempt to combat the literary sluggishness, I decided to table that one for a while and pulled up a story I started last summer. At the time, I was having a similar problem with this other story, and set it aside.
I read through the 1500 words I had finished on that story and decided it was good enough to continue. I decided what the end will be, and managed to get another 250 words down on the page today.  I’ll take another stab at adding some words later tonight.
