Characters and Procrastination

I watched Captain America: Civil War the other day, and I thought it was very good. I like the characters, and I’ve always been drawn into characters more than plots. My writing tends to reflect being more character-driven than story-driven as well. I think of the protagonist and imagine what he does and write it down as my general approach to writing stories.

I realize that I keep changing my approach to doing things in regards to writing. For example, I was of the idea to send one query letter to a Literary Agent once every two weeks or so. Now, I think it’s a better idea to send them a bit more frequently. I also have a good amount of short stories completed, but I only submitted to one or two competitions a month. With those especially, instead of letting them sit and do nothing, it is just smarter to send them out to various competitions more frequently.

I actually didn’t finish a short story within a deadline for a short story competition. Procrastination has been my biggest enemy ever since I was in Kindergarten. I’ve been good about getting these stories done before their deadlines, but I waited too long for this one. Hopefully, I can finish the story and submit it somewhere.
