inkstainsninety-nine is our topic this week; get those entries in by 10 pm GMT Monday! (Which, as it turns out, is 6 pm EST. Sorry for the belated correction. It's only been a month. *headdesk*)
I like to sit down and write a story all at once, personally. Here's why: if I do it in pieces, some today and some tomorrow and more the next day, I lose the flow. I forget what was going to happen, or I suddenly sound like a completely different person is writing. And yet, I want to write some longer stories. There is no way for me to write 10K words in one sitting. I suppose it's time to learn how to moderate my voice over several writing sessions.
How do you write longer pieces? Do you struggle with the same sorts of issues?
