I think I've figured out the problem . . .
I've been working on my second ficlet for
50ficlets and it's going fairly well, actually -- in fact, I think it might be ready to post tomorrow. But in the course of creating this (currently) 512-word ficlet, I have written an additional 1,134 words. That's what's in my scratch file right now.
I think I may have just figured out why I'm a slow writer . . .

Um, there's quite a difference between 512 words and 1134 words - as in the latter's more than double the former... :D

Can't wait to start reading them...

But yes, I do feel like this challenge has been getting me back into the writing "swing," which is a very good thing!

Good news!!

I mean, keeping things down can be a problem sometimes. Luckily, I chose a show that's ideal for short, random scenes, but I do Blake's 7 ficlets sometimes too, and trying to keep them from growing over the requisite 500 words is tough!
Aw. Still, if you mean to turn it all into one story one day, will the excess words come in handy then?

But yes, some of it might be usable for the longer story . . . we'll see!
