Three years have went by already? Wow... I've been meaning to ask, I couldn't help but notice that you've been pumping out a lot of stories lately and I want to know, how do you do it? I'm not complaining, you're a great writer, brilliant, in fact! But I tend to break down after a thousand words and get side-tracked, I know it all comes down to the person who's writing, but you've been writing nonstop lately and you're still doing good!

Also, Happy Belated Birthday!

Years just bleed on.

Used to be the same way. TBH, I gave up on the notion of ever writing something good a while back. I had a lot of knowledge about storytelling and writing, and yet, I was unable actually apply those ideas in prose. So I figured I'd take the Ray Bradbury approach: Write a lot, and hopefully, the quality will come.

Being allowed to post first drafts and the validation it brings is a huge motivator for writing so much. But really, I would much prefer to be writing for the sake of the story than the other way around.

All I say is either set a word count, or a goal, and try to hit that everyday—or every other day if you have a life, lola!

Please feel free to ask me any more questions you may have.

This is the story that got me to follow you. It still makes me laugh to this day whenever I read it.
