RE: The Miner's Cabin

in The Ink Well • 2 years ago

What a wonderfully paced story, Jayna. It had all the right elements to keep me upright and peering unblinking at my laptop screen haha... I was completely absorbed! Not a word was out of place! All the while I'm thinking... what the heck??? Just leave already you silly people. why do characters always stick around when things get stupidly scary and dangerous 😂 I was half willing them to jump in a car and drive away... happily ever after... and half wanting desperately to know how they escaped the bear and the ghost miner. When the floor gave way I was like... where's the freakin' door? hahaha... I was ready to run myself !LOLZ Awesomely creepy and fun Halloween tale !PIZZA !LUV

    What is it called when a writer is sick of writing?
    Authoritis!

      Thank you for that lovely comment, @samsmith1971! I aimed to see if I could create and maintain suspense from beginning to end. It's not the type of writing I usually go for, but I thought it would be a fun challenge. One of my favorite things about writing, which is also the most unnerving, is that I often don't know where a story is going to go when I start it. I had no idea the miner was going to be under the house... and then that was how the words came out. Ha ha.

        hahaha isn't that the truth... not knowing where a story is going to go! Sometimes I have the beginning... ONLY the beginning... no idea where to take it... and I just start. Other times I have an ending and I have to construct the story to get me to that conclusion... I often write out of sequence... When the idea or flow comes, then I write that piece of the story, be it beginning, middle or end !LOLZ ... and slowly over a week usually, it comes together. I like to research and sleep on it in between too... it's amazing how many writing issues resolve themselves over night 😅Stepping out of the comfort zone can be scary and fun haha - I think you did a fabulous job! !LUV

          As I suspected – someone has been adding soil to my garden.
          The plot thickens.

            Yes, I think writing issues do resolve themselves overnight, @samsmith1971! In fact, sometimes I will work on a story and then let my subconscious work on it for a while. I have learned to trust that doing so will ultimately yield results in moving a story forward — more so than click-clacking away when it doesn't seem to be working!
