Writing Again

You may have noticed that I am writing again. You may notice because I always listen to music when I write and I finally updated some of my music on the sidebar.

So what am I writing you ask? (Yes, I am pretending that you care...)

I am creating a short story, 4,000 words or less, liberally sprinkled with ghosts. We'll see how it comes out. I am at about 1500 words so far and I am going to expend at least 2,000 in this final scene and then I may spend the remaining 500 or so on detailing the story where necessary.

Short stories are quicker to write but they are actually much harder to construct than full novels. I prefer to write the lengthy stuff but sometimes you just need a quick start and finish.
