You Have Enough

[Chase]

Well, I hope this wasn't based on any precognitive dreams you may have had   

I hope things don't get to this stage but I can certainly appreciate the sentiment, as this could be a reality not too far off. 'shudders'

There's plenty 'Mr Bezus'' around already! I wonder who he was based on...? 

Oh no, the name was Bizus he's not based on anyone  

I've been noticing that a lot of the stories I write tend to have something vaguely similar that happens immediately after, be it through pure coincidence of some sort of manifestation. Right after I wrote my wasp story, my house became infested with some strange species of wasps I've never even seen before (those things were building hives bigger than bees eek) and right after I wrote this one, yet another story broke out of a worker who got in trouble for using the bathroom. So, I think I'm going to go back to writing romances and hope another *coincidence* happens. If only it were possible to write an entertaining one without conflict  

I thought about rewriting an alternate ending for this story, or another chapter, but I think it's better to just drop it. I don't really like it. I was working on chapter 2 of your non-serious sci-fi story (it features Mitch McConnell as an actual turtle  ) but another story came up.

Right now I've been so consumed with this story I just started writing, I'm almost at 10,000 words and it hasn't even been a week yet. If it goes past 70,000 words and I feel really confident with it, I might keep it for my professional portfolio and start querying lit agents with it, but I can email copies if requested to those I trust. It's a paranormal romance (I'm still not sure if I'm leaning more sci-fi or fantasy with this one). If it gets too long but not long enough to be acceptable by publishers, I might find another platform that would be easier for me to post and then post the links to it. I've been thinking deviantart, but that site has a ... reputation. On GS, I can only post, like, 7,000 words at a time, and then I can't post another section for a whole hour unless somebody were to post before I could post the next part, but then that would distract from the flow of the story.

I'm trying to go back to writing in past tense. Present tense became very addicting, but it's a crutch for creating something fast paced and is too limited. That's only been raising more problems for me though, because when I write in first person past, I'm confused on whether I should express the characters thoughts in past or present. Thankfully, most readers don't even notice the tenses anyway so if I'm not submitting it to an agent who probably has an English degree, I don't need to worry about it.

Also, as of right now, the richest man in the world is a guy who sells T-shirts priced over a thousand dollars to rich people. Let that sink in. I'm in the wrong business
