Another strong week of writing. Kept up the crazy-train of production, although I'm finding the hardest part is finding balance.
Continually I write something new, usually short stories. But I don't just write them, I edit them. And re-edit. After all, what's the point if I'm not pushing myself to produce the best works possible? I need higher goals now beyond simply writing.
But striking a balance between writing and editing is hard. I don't know yet if I should write one day and edit the next or attempt both everyday. I feel stretched if I do both same day but robbed if I don't write and edit instead another day. My time currently is limited by work, reporting, homework and social engagements.
Such is the life of writing![]()

Tomorrow I'll be writing a paragraph for a writing exam about who knows what. It's supposed to be the first step to walk before being able to write an essay or maybe a story. I seem to have something to say about anything, but I figure I first have to learn how to do it properly.
I am really chuffed with a story I have just written, but must resist the urge to keep messing with it. I would like to give it few days to marinate then do some editing.
Wow it is such a good feeling when the story seems to write itself.
