Short Story

Unread post

Currently working on a short story titled Charles. My goal is to get at least 5k words, if more that'd be cool too. It starts out with the main character, Charles, in his cabin and it mainly follows the surroundings of where he lives and what he's experiencing in the woods in which he resides. The story gets increasingly more unnatural until the ending (to which I will not spoil).

Been questioning myself as I write this, to be honest. Things like where I'm going with the story and such. Anyways, I find it interesting. I came up with the idea from a weird prompt a friend gave me.

:welcome:
Best of luck in that endeavor! I've wondered how fiction writers work. I've heard you need to "begin with the end in mind," to know how it winds up. But I've also frequently heard things like "I had no idea that character was going to act that way!" I s'pose it's a combination of the two - have a plan, but use creativity...
