2015 Resolutions

[RetroRomper]

My emails used to consist of me writing three paragraphs, immediately re-reading the whole thing, finding a sentence or hopefully two or three that worked, re-writing the rest of the letter to fit, etc, etc. for an hour (or up to an hour and a half.)

The trait that spelled my doom was envisioning everything I lost in the translation, as my letter evolved from this rough hewn set of ideas into a far more streamlined rendition of itself, pruning off and regrowing every other word.

It dawned on me the other day that you and I are writing two completely different things. You're working on a novella and I am writing a bunch of short stories. I don't know how well the two will merge together. I also don't think either of us have enough material for a stand alone work. We'll have to figure something out. Also I did the same thing you did (went back and read what I had written) and all of my stories are terrible.

Wait, this was the idea! This was the idea. It was the Cyberganked Anthology. So there is one longer work (mine) a few short stories about the various classes (your stuff) and my brother's story about the clown class, which won't end up being a starter class, but a bonus class, like how Lords were in Wizardry.

It's all on target! It's all happening as planned! Someone buying the thing through Amazon will get multiple stories, which was my wish.

Ah. Apparently I had so many alcoholic beverages between then and now that I forgot the plan. I like that there is a plan!
