Write1Sub1--Month 3: March

I made it for March just in the nick of time. It was another successful month, having written one (03/30) and submitted it (03/31). It was also successful in that I was finally able to venture outside of my usual mainstream/literary direction into genre fiction...a tad.

I wrote a piece that I'm still not sure what it is exactly, but it pretty much fits dark fantasy, psychological horror, and supernatural/paranormal horror.

One of my readers said it was his favorite piece of mine so far (and he's read one of my novels and eight of my other short stories/flash-fic pieces)--that it felt more complete than my other shorts.

I must admit, this one took the longest to work out; after thinking about it for a while, it took me several days to write out random pieces and ideas (still without an ending), and a few more days re-working it and finally finding an ending. For a piece on the shorter side (2k), that's a lot of time for me; something this size usually takes 1-3 days to sort out and feel 'finished.'

I also broke my write2sub2 streak this month; however, I feel like I will more than make up for it in April, having several deadlines I want to make.

In fact, I just wrote my first new piece for April today (04/03) but more on this later.
