Week 0.5

Intro: Thoughts 


So since I started in the middle of the week - and of course I could just have one Write1Sub1 week start on Wednesday and end on Tuesday, but that wouldn't be very clean, now, would it? - I decided to be very generous to myself and forgo either the "Write1" or "Sub1" part of the package for this week, to be accomplished by Sunday.

At the moment, I'm clearly leaning towards the "Write1" part.

From the beginning, I knew the "Sub" part would be the hardest; show my writing to someone? Worse, submit it, as though I could ever be done with editing it? Preposterous!

So of course I may have to challenge myself and dig out an old story, to be submitted by Sunday. Because hey, if you can't challenge yourself in the beginning, when you're filled with most enthusiasm - you never will be able to.

Actually, my biggest problem right now is that I'm writing in a totally wrong language. Bilingualism is not the best thing when a story insists on talking in two completely different language...



Conclusion:


So I rather utterly failed at submitting. Indecision will be the death of my nonexistent writerly life.

I now have a list of more than 10 magazines I'm dying to submit to, however, compared to the total of 0 I had before, so I will attempt to give a "Not bad, could have done (a lot) better" to week 0.5.

Now... on to Week 1!!
