what I did over summer vacation

I wrote.

I wrote about one short story a week, more or less.

And now, sadly, comes the editing. Perhaps in a week or two I’ll have a nice little e-chapbook to share with you.

I did have a writing partner, who also tried to write one short story a week. It was a bit like school. I miss school and the deadlines and the expectations to do work. By myself, I do very little work because I am easily distracted and I get migraines and now I work in my basement since COVID which means a whole new set of distractions I have to learn how to avoid (I’m right next to my sewing machine now. Do you know how many things I could sew? Neither do I!)

In any case, the worst part of writing is whatever step you are on currently.
