Day 53: I thought of a heading but have now forgotten it...

I hate it when you're thinking of something, then something else distracts you, and for the life of you, you can't remember what you were thinking about Dx Maybe it'll come back to me.

Yesterday, I did no writing as IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY :D I love birthdays, though I usually get more excited about other peoples rather than my own, but actually, I was mega-excited, and really really enjoyed it :)

Today, I have been quite productive I think. I wrote a short story again - this one based on the theme of rainbows. Someone described it as "profound" which I like to think is a good thing - my short story writing style is my favourite. I do have different styles for my novels, as I don't think I could write for so long as I do in a short story. But that's fine :) Short stories are fun, and I take 10 minutes to write then (I sprint them) and I got somewhere around 640 words for my one this morning, then finished it off, and the whole story was 674. There's something I really like about short stories.
You don't have to do any planning - it's only 500/600 odd words, you don't need much planning for that really. I usually just have an idea in my mind, and just let me fingers and mind do the work while I write it. Secondly - I feel like I capture a little insight into a character's life. I don't know these character's like I know the ones in my novels, so it is interesting. I know as much as I write about, and even as the writer, I'm left wondering about them! I like that.

I also started chapter 9 of my novel. It needs major polishing, but I'm not going to bother doing that until it's actually finished, I don't think. I've tried my best to explain why even though there appeared to be romance between my MC and a boy, they couldn't be together, and both of them agreed on this. It was weird, especially as I love them together xD But she's not meant to be with him, and both of them know this.

I wrote a sims chapter too - so productive ;)
