The evolution of a story (NEVER delete your work)

  (This post also contains a short story) I didn’t think I had a method of writing, but it turns out I do. First I have an idea and I write a little memo.

In the end the finished story bears very little resemblance to the original version.

Constant Reading 4- Leaving the house

  Traveling to work whilst reading is a fairly easy one to cover considering all the other obstacles we have come across so far. You have washed (we hope) dressed (poorly) breakfasted (without a detour to the hospital). Now you are ready to leave the house.
