Decided to go ahead with the short story

It can't hurt to try! I'm not after the money, even in the unlikely case that it does sell more than a couple of copies, so it'd only be cheap. Would be nice to get it out there though!

Spent the last three hours combing through the story, fixing and putting down notes for improvements. I've filled up three pages so far  This is going to take a while!

Worth a try Eleanor definitely, good luck Xx

Thanks Been ages since I've had the right motivation to write! Feels nice to be out of writer's block and fiddling about again! Going to start the actual adjustments tomorrow, so I might be a bit absent-minded. I lose track of time when I start working on a novel.

Must be great when the mental block goes and your on a roll!
I cant write novels but find writing letters much easier to explain things.
Once I start I cant stop! as you have probably noticed  

Good luck Eleanor, I'm sure it'll be fab :)definitely would like to read it

Yeah go for it, good luck

 It's the best! Mum would probably agree, as it means I stop chattering away in her ear.  

I'm not very good with writing letters. I always go too formal and sound like a stuffy old fart. Good for you for being good at it!

Not sure I'll be posting it on the forum. I get really shy when it comes to my writing, and I'm pretty sure it's against the forum rules!

That's ok - when it's published, you can tell everybody & they can all rush on to kindle & buy it!

It's only a short story - I'll be back to normal by the end of next week!

 I'd be a nervous wreck! Besides, that's cheating.

No it isn't - it's called publicity!

Thanks! It's making me nervous as anything!  Once I finish fixing the story and adjusting it, I'm hoping the nerves will go.

It's still cheating!  

All publicity is good publicity

Not when the people reading it know exactly who you are!
