I have finished the short story I am writing. I need to make the deadline of Friday delivery-Yikes that's tomorrow.  I will make the deadline. Life goes on around you even when you are trying to fully concentrate on meeting a publisher’s deadline and I needed to stop and organize door hardware when the handle came off our back door in my hand.

After writing a lot of words, too many for a short story and thinking I would need to go through and do an abbreviated version, I decided i did not want to shorted that story, but turn it into a novel.  lol, now that is two novels I have in planning stage. 

So yesterday morning, at around 9am, I started again from scratch writing and editing chapters as I went, though until 3am and I have completed the full story.  I even managed to get myself out of my comfort area in writing and wrote about a topic I previously have been unable to structure into written words, one of those things I could only verbally tell, in the past.  OK, lol, so the old lady has handled the towels dropping to the floor and the naked love making bit, he-he, never too old to learn ;-) and it worked well in my story, more for humour than for sensualist pleasures :-).   Humour being one of the skills as a writer I am striving to learn.

I have submitter the story for proof reading to another writer, one I admire (thank you Carol Willis) and I am now going back though my story and changing more of the narrative to dialogue. Dialogue is another of the aspects of writing that I need to work on if I am to master becoming a novelist.
