Currently working on a story for the #GlobeSoup Flashback Fiction Competition and have changed my mind about where exactly the story starts at least ten times already. Apparently juggling two timelines makes me even more indecisive than normal #WritingCommunity

Any other #writers writing for the #GlobeSoup #Competition? Ironically, I've never been able to submit competitions because my writing is too long - but this submission is 8000 words, and (as I edit) I keep cutting and cutting, and my longest story is only about 5000 words!

I picked 3 tickets for Globe Soup's Mash Ups due at the end of the month, and actually have 3 short stories plotted. With characters even! The current goal is vomit drafts by Sunday. #WritingCommunity #feelingaccomplished #GlobeSoup #writing

Likewise. So much on at the moment. Currently working on the #globesoup #genresmash for both western/horror and ikegai/Crime. I think I've got a good plot for the 1st and a WIP idea for the 2nd. Hopefully I'll get it all to coalesce in time 🤔😁 #writingcommunity #challengeyourself

I didn't have a clue with the 1st genre-smash criteria I got so picked another. Then I got ideas for both stuck in my head 😂 Note to self: writing multiple narratives in parallel is not good for your sanity 🤔😂. Good luck to everyone taking part 🍀🤞😎 #globesoup #genresmashchallenge #writingcommunity
