Congratulations, P-C!
I don't know if I have the creativity in me to write a novel. Writing novel-length fanfic is doable, but then I have the characters already fleshed out as a shortcut. Plot is easy, then.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Because books.
Any of us women over 40 have a screenplay ready to submit? [link]

Not yet. As disappointing as it was to get a rejection in my inbox this morning, I guess it's fair enough. I felt like I sent them flash fiction that they asked for, but looking at it after a few months, it seems that I sent them an *idea* instead. Sigh.

I still like the idea, but maybe fleshing out two women's motivations in under 1,000 words is truly a tall order or at least, I haven't mastered it.

Short fiction is tough. At least it is for me.
I wish I could work on some writing, but it just isn't in the cards right now.

I like short fiction, but that's because I'm lazy and put off writing anything substantial.
I miss the prompts and drabbles we used to do here.

Because books.
We tried them again and no one came.

I know. I miss having prompts. Maybe if we called it flash fic, instead, with a 500 word limit? Or, post a bunch of prompts all at once and peck away at them over a month or so? It was a lot of fun when we had a lot of people doing it on a weekly basis, but I think a lot of those folks have either dropped off the board or quit writing.
