Pumpkins again: D A horrible day that showed it was a little less thanks to this news: I have been selected for the anthology Pumpkins in the Storeroom: film Monsters!
told not so long ago that I had been selected for the previous call, the Storage
Pumpkins: Death . On that occasion I sent a story that was written quite some time, a story that I particularly like but that was not written for the call. On this occasion if I wrote a story specifically for this call, I got the idea a few days see the topic movie monsters, an idea that seemed great, I loved
, I had to write
. I did not have was time, was involved in many things (as usual) and as long as I was leaving. In mid-December raised me I had to start at once or at the end of time I would throw up. December was a month horrible in many ways, totally and completely horrible.Una of the first people who read this story I said no cor empathized characters, it was cold, it was not like I used to write. In fact, that feeling is sought, because I believe that I did not want to feel when I wrote that first draft, was a distant past, distant, and did not want to be inside her.
At first I liked the result. It seemed that in my head the idea seemed to be much better than how he had been on paper. I rewrote it several times, I gave many turns without becoming a finish like it. Sometimes you finish a story and feel a great satisfaction, as seen in my previous entry. With this story, perhaps the mood at that time I had not happened to me, on the contrary, I felt frustration because he felt he had not expressed what I wanted.
I left some time in the box at the end of January as the deadline is over, I returned to catch, so I went back to rewrite. This time I liked. "All I do is shit" I went to "because there is so far from his idea" and decided that I could pass the litmus test: correction of my friends.
The answer I got was very positive and very good advice. Everyone was sure that my story would be in the selection: Rae enters safe told me. At first I wanted to get my hopes, because sometimes you get excited and you get the stick, and not even have to be because the story is bad, sometimes there are good stories that are left out because they do not fit well with what they want, but I thought it did not matter, if I had the stick and send it to another contest. I liked the end result, he had grown fond of the story and sometimes it's good to enjoy an illusion lasts the duration. And this time it worked. : D
You may ask why I have told you this stuff, well because the story actually goes from this: In the relationship between authors and their work, the creative process in the hopes, fears, hopes. Let the monsters, hidden, in our works.
Hope you like it when you read it.
I leave the statement with the selection.
