Oh, what a wonderful holiday weekend! Family, friends, and a little bit of work; it was absolute heaven! Definitely recharged body, mind and spirit. Could not have been better.
Work-wise, it was eye opening. If anything, it proved that some stories are just not suited for restricted space -- and, on occasion, cannot be opened correctly. On the latter is where mine fell. Going back over it, I saw some of the issues. And, passing it to two readers, the confusion was unavoidable (too much going on, too fast). The piece, I'm convinced, was not made for a short story. On top of that, ha ha ha, I ran out of room in the word count.
Eh, win some; lose some. With a new outline, I'm good to go on a new slant. There's always a way to tell a story.
A wall is nothing to stop for -- merely a speed bump.
