Fiction post for the week of 07/31 - Making Ends Meet
Wow, talk about posting early in the week! Practically unheard of. I rushed this one a little, and I think I'll want to go back and re-work it to some degree. I'm surprised by how well it came out considering, though - I'd been sitting on the first 400 words or so for a few weeks, knowing what I wanted it to say and how I wanted it to play out, but just not feeling motivated to get it there. Well, today I decided to push myself and see if I could finish it by the end of my shift (45 minutes, give or take.) Boom, a story happened!
Like I said, it was a bit of a rush job and wasn't as detailed as I originally thought it might have to be, but I think I actually like it at the length it is now. Anyway, let me know what you think. (I made myself write this in third person - for some reason everything's been popping out in first, lately.)
(This is a challenge to write a story about "completion", as per![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shloop.)
( Making Ends Meet - vignette, 1,300 words, first draft )
