Bad News and Not Rushing

I received some bad news today (it was not regarding a life-or-death situation, thankfully), and it was tough. I put on the movie from 2008, Role Models, and it did its job in getting me out of the moment and making me laugh at times. I have seen it before, and it was better on this watch than when I first saw it years ago. I am not saying that it is some great movie or anything like that, but that as a form of entertainment, it did what it needed to do for its audience.

Editing was one of the big things that I was working on with my stories. Now, I am looking to extend my stories to make them longer. I did not realize how much that I can stretch out and expand upon with my stories. I compare it to martial arts, but when one rushes something, it leaves open mistakes and openings. I rushed my stories too quickly, and it left narrative openings. This writing thing is definitely not a sprint, but a marathon.

I always say this with my own writing, but I am not trying to reinvent the wheel with my stories. The bottom line is that I want to entertain an audience. I do not know how far my stories will reach, if ever I get published professionally, but I would like to reach as many people as I can.
