The Strange and Mundane World of Molly Cule

Now we’re down to the nitty-gritty! You’ve got two stories to choose from today: a snow-storm romance in Two Strangers in the Snow or a boozy New Years gone wrong in Just another New Year’s Eve Story. Both were originally featured on Worth1000; Two Strangers appeared in the Romance (Under Stress) competition – write an 800 word story about love blossoming in a difficult or dangerous situation and placed 2nd, and New Year’s Eve Story took 7th place in the New Year competition (no prizes for guessing the topic of that one). This one had a bit of criticism levelled at the ending, but reading back I quite like it so let me know what you think.

I probably wouldn’t consider these my finest works, but they’re just a taster of things to come. I’ll be adding stories fairly regularly from here on, so check the Short Story link on the side bar for more details.

I took my script along to Script Tease this week and got some really good feedback. I got a few laughs in the funny bits and people seemed to have a clue of what it was about rather than just going “huh?” like last time, so that’s promising. We only read the first two scenes and there are some adjustments I’d like to make but I’m starting to feel like I’m writing these first scenes over, and over, and over again. I need to progress because it’s demoralising rewriting the same ground continuously. I started sketching out other scenes while I was at the laundromat last Sunday so I think I’m reading to commit those to the pages. I’m just so busy and and tired and strung out at the moment it’s hard to find time, and I’ve got two more stories to write for Worth yet . . . stupid full-time work, always getting in the way!

Anyway, hope you enjoy my stories and feel free to leave any feedback!
