Hurry and Sloth

I realize that I’m in such a hurry to complete this goal of being an author that I’m making mistakes on the way. It seems to be the way that life has taken me. I’ve suffered from sloth for a good amount of my life, that when I decided to actually live my life in productivity and take becoming an author seriously, I’ve rushed it. Because of that, I’ve gone back to The Mustard Prince in the Condiment Kingdom or my short stories and have had to re-edit them. I’m in such a hurry to make up for lost time that my work suffers.

The re-editing process has been a great learning experience for me. I’ve honestly had to edit so much out simply because I was repeating things. It’s surprising just how much is just not needed in the story. I’ve also filled in gaps in a sense where transitions from one sentence to another or paragraph to another have been so much smoother.

I’m playing catchup, pretty much in life and in the writing process, and I’m kind of paying for it. All in all, it’s better than living a life of sloth.
