A few
days of forced absence are sometimes required. Within some of us lies a deep
and ingrained sense of discipline. People brought up to work do not take time
off because they "deserve it". In this case, though, I took a couple
of days off and let my thoughts and ideas percolate. I wanted to sift through
my writing and see if I still felt the same—I'm a notorious perfectionist.
I
wrote the story I set out to write in the style I wanted. I wrote the truth.
We'll see if this translates for agents. Patience and optimism are my wingmen
in this numbers game.
Understanding
my writing may fall into grey areas of acceptability is critical to my psyche—people
tend to play it safer than ever these days. But I told myself: If you're going
to do this, you have to be all in—no safe places.
And so here we are. All in.
