Hmm.

I broke down another short story yesterday. I thought it was fairly solid, but now that I'm writing it, I don't find it exciting.

Part of it could be because I know what's going to happen. The other part is the story itself. It's cliched and predictable. I'm writing to order, which is probably why. It helps productivity to have limits to your subject and plot, but it doesn't necessarily produce the best fiction.

Well, I'll push through and edit heavily, and maybe it will turn out decent enough that I can at least send it off. I'm somewhat embarrassed by the Rogue Hearts story I already did send off. It's probably decent enough for what it is, but it isn't very me, or anywhere near the standards I usually hold myself to.

Ah, well. Let's carry on and see what we end up with.
