The Dreamer

Well, no sooner did one set of writing get sunk then the last one followed suit... "The Dreamer" fell short, and the basic gist of the constructive criticism was that I had lots of description but basically nothing happens in the story (I wrote it in a very Lovecraftian style, which I guess doesn't appeal in the modern day world of speculative fiction). So they found it to basically be a boring story that does nowhere...

All in all, I'm more than a bit discouraged at the moment. I think it's time for a break from writing, at least until I decide if I want to keep at it (and keep reading rejection letters). I have plenty of things going on in my life right now, and maybe this just isn't the time to be trying to get back into writing... maybe I'm just not cut out for it, or at least not any more, or not at the moment... it's hard to say.

At any rate, if anything new comes of my meddling in the written word, I'll be sure to post it here... until then, I guess the shadows on the desk will be a little darker than usual.

Cheers, all!
