I am writing a new story. I'm so excited! I have been doing research on short stories and I think that is the route I need to take for now. One of the blogs I read yesterday said the best way to get better at writing is to start with short stories. (Sorry I can't link, I read so many I can't remember. Mental note: keep track of these things)
When I go back and read the things I've written I feel overwhelmed. Everything was straight in my head but once I passed a certain point I didn't know what direction it should go. I would get frustrated and not write again for weeks or months then start on a new idea that wanted to get out.
Now I am setting a reasonable goal. 5,000 words. Beginning, middle, end. How hard can that be?
To the story: Science Fiction! There will be cryogenics, spaceships, indentured servitude, and.... fight scenes!
