Waterford Writers Weekend
In all honesty, I probably gave up on stories that had promise purely because I didn’t have the patience to follow this process all the way through—to sit with the stories, and to try to figure out what they were really all about (and then rewrite them with that in mind!).
So although November is normally associated with new projects (Nanowrimo, for instance), I’m doing the opposite—editing my upcoming fantasy novel and now also rethinking the horror short story. For any fellow writers out there who don’t feel like jumping into a new project just now, perhaps there’s a story you gave up on too soon that deserves another look!
