Accomplished

I am feeling supremely accomplished at the moment. I finally finished the final edit of my book. (That's not a mouthful. hah) I have even managed to transfer it into eBook form. That took a bit of work in and of itself. I originally saved it into pdf form. After the epub conversion, though, it always came out unformatted. After some research, I found out it was because essentially the pdf was a copy of the image. So indentations, margins, and paragraphing were lost in the conversion. I changed it into a rtf, and now my indentations are active. Happy me!

So that was last Tuesday. Then yesterday I completed a short story that I am seriously considering putting into a contest. I'm waiting for a couple of people to tell me it doesn't suck first, though. haha For it I attempted to write something completely out of my comfort zone. It's a sexual horror. I didn't read any material or do any research before writing it. That may have been a mistake, but I can't bring myself to read that sort of thing. Again, another contradiction. But either it will be my advantage or the reason for my failure. I'm okay with that. I didn't invest as much time into the story as I have so many others, so it's a worthwhile effort to see if I can do things I don't totally enjoy.

And now I begin work on another short story. I think that's pretty exciting. I wish I had the time and money to take some creative writing courses just to train me further. But for now, I'm content to be prolific. That means at least I'm creative.

So now I go back to story.
