How Far Do I Go?

It's a writing dilemma. I know that I am able to push myself harder and there are a couple of directions where I can go. My writing strengths are non-fiction and fiction with its feet firmly embedded in fact. And thanks ABC for giving me the space to play around in all directions and come to this assessment.

Now where do I go? One option is to create a collection of full-on factual memory writings. Another is to arise off my 61 year old ass and extend something I wrote some years back, which I am pleased with from 15,000 words into a standard length fiction. Or to continue my current 6 chapter thing which I also like.

Going down the instalment route has worked well for several writers here but I know I will get distracted by comments and how many reads have I got and have I got a cherry for this bit. Anything full length I am sure I have a better chance of completion if I get on with it on my Jack Jones and then post the finished article here and/or Amazon it.

Meanwhile I enjoy putting short writings up here through I sometimes feel my gloomy, ranty pieces get rated more highly than my feelgood.

Ho hum, as dilemmas go it's all quite pleasantsmiley

doesn't matter what route you take, or how long it takes you to get there, as long as you arrive at the place you want to be.
