Loose

I wrote a short story to submit to magazines, hoping it might lead to publishing opportunities for Desolation Ghosts, but it's going into the vault. It was sort of inspired but sort of forced (though, in my experience, all writing is forced in that you discipline yourself to put the words on the paper and make sure they're the right ones), but I'm shelving it because I didn't enjoy writing it and I didn't feel good about it during or after the process. I guess I just needed to write it for myself, and practicing is always good. I don't spend enough time in the woodshed.
