Wow, I've really been struggling with this. Like I said I'm no writer, but I never thought that a short story could be so difficult.
I've got the whole thing mapped out in my head and refined to something that I hope others might find to be mildly entertaining. It is getting it down on (virtual) paper that has been the real challenge.
I've ended up scrapping about half the stuff I'd already wrote because I found myself spending too much time on bits that are only there to support the 'meat' of the story. I guess that if I was filming the story, then the additional stuff would work fine, but in written form it was tedious. So hopefully now, I'm back on track for a short story rather than a mini novel.
I'm determined to finish the damn thing - only 12 days left though!
