Independent Work Day #1

Luke told me that in order to make my work less experimental, I should set more limits for myself. This includes writing out titles, summaries, and lengths for each story before I write them. I understand that this will help me know when to stop writing, but it is very hard for me because I am used to wandering from my original ideas. I feel like all of the concepts that I came up with are better to work with long-form, so I either have to adjust the ideas or adjust the project. Even though it is only the first day, I feel like I would rather be in one of the movie groups. That would be more fun for me than torturing myself for a story.

  1. No, I didn't say less experimental at all. I said make some choices about length, like decide to make them all 5 paragraphs long, as a way of making out easier for you to complete them.

    You write: "but it is very hard for me because I am used to wandering from my original ideas."

    The word "wandering" is what gives me pause. You need to complete things.
