Upcoming stories: learning how not to make everything incredibly difficult for myself literally all the time

I wrote a (comedy) one-act play in college about a grim reaper that got put on by the college for a yearly festival, and it’s been sitting in my writing folder ever since, making me sad. I’ve considered turning it into some semblance of a novel, but it’s not the right kind of story for that. It works better as episodes without an overarching plot. Anyway, I’ve decided to turn it into a series of short stories that I’ll publish online as writing practice. And by “decided,” I mean I just had the idea this morning in the shower, and now I’m posting it, so I have no choice but to follow through.

I tend to take my work too seriously and have a hard time showing people (especially strangers) any of my projects that I haven’t been editing to death for 5+ years. This will be my attempt at letting go, just a little.

So, to my father, the three friends I’ve told about my new blog, and the five strangers who read my reviews, I love you and hope you’re ready for some bizarre shit
