Legacy

[tanaise]

Oh, god, I'm going crazy. This is a revised piece. So I fixed up the obvious stuff (at least, that's what I was trying to do) and now I'm working on the fine tuning. All the little blocking details, the setting, the characters. Ahhhhhh!!! It's really hard. I don't instinctively put the details in a piece. I'm used to letting the readers project. But today's advice was "Readers are sheep going down a road. If there's only one open gate, they'll all go through it." I'll sheep them. I'm trying, but it feels like so much extra stuff. The luminosity of my story better end up being worth it, that's all I'm saying.

I just wrote to my boss cause I remembered that I'm not allowed to stay here forever, even if I wanted to (maybe not forever, but longer would be okay with me), and I realised she'd never gotten back to me about why I wasn't moved up to Associate level while I've been here.
