#TellYourStory | A project that I could not complete...
You project that I could not complete. The immediate thing that comes to my mind is the short story. I actually wanted to write a novel in 2018, and that is one of the reasons why I left Adobe. It was a cushy job, and I left that job to pursue writing, among other things. So, yeah, writing was definitely one of the things I wanted to do and pursue seriously. So I started writing in 2018, the first 3000 words for my novel
And like you, I made a shift towards short stories and from there I actually moved into micro snippets. Can't even call them stories because I don't complete. I just explain a scene and leave it. But best wishes and I hope you get back to your novel really soon. Listening to you, I'm sure it's going to be a bestseller. Have a great day. Bye

So the minimum word limit of anything that we write, including short stories, should be, let's say 3600 words. And we should take one ambitious project like one that really makes us scared. Like 130 thousand word project like all the others should be 3600 words and 136 thousand words kind of project. What do you say pile? You let me know
You. So a project not less than 3600 words. Let's do it. It would be a challenge. And yes, I'm game for a bigger project. Also 30,000 words would really see. Let's hope. Let's also put a timeline into it. At least the bigger project. So that we get something out at least. See you around. Bye

You. The timeline should be six months from now. That's it, I think. Can we work around that?

It. Sure. That works. So, six months for a 30,000 word long project, and how many short stories?

I can completely relate to this because I've been through something similar, and definitely, you know, projects keep piling up. Thanks so much for sharing. Bye

Hi, Payal. So let's say short stories, right? Probably ten. Do you think that's a good number or should we stick to nine? I think nine plus one. Nine of 3000 words and one of 30,000 should do. Please share your thoughts. Okay, bye. Thank you. All right
