Wednesday evening, I got a request from an editor for a story. Luckily, I had a great idea, spent four days writing and revising, before I sent it off to her on Sunday evening. The tale was over 10,000 words.
Whoa! Wait a minute...how'd you do that?
Simple. Practice. Years and years of practice.
I'm a bit startled to discover that I write faster than many pro writers. I guess all that time I spent writing fanfiction, and then posting it online, paid off.
What was the fanfiction? Practice!
All I did was take everything I learned about writing in other people's universes and applied it my original work.
Hey, it worked. And I have one very happy editor.
