This is day three of "AUTHORS' SPOTLIGHT - Season 6"   [18+] by 30DBC Creator/Founder . My book item for that contest is "Snow in the Valley"   [18+] by Prosperous Snow celebrating . So far I have written two poems, a children's story, did three reviews, and my expectations. The next thing I need to work on is a dialog between two brothers.

I have decided to expand the children's story, which right now is a very short story or flash fiction piece. I am going to make it a little longer. This is a child's fantasy story, with the appearance of taking place at an amusement park. I think I am going to leave it as a fantasy story. I am not going to change the setting either, I am just going to make it longer with more action.

The dialog suggests a love story of some type. I am going to make it either a science fiction or fantasy story. I have not decided which yet, the only thing I am sure of right now is that I am going to expand it and make the story more involved and more exciting. Give it a twist of some type.

I am having fun, even though working within a daily deadline pushes me. A daily deadline prevents me from obsessing and rewriting as I compose the piece. I write the short story or poem and then, if I complete it early enough before posting, I rewrite and polish the piece. If I don't complete it early enough, I post it and worry about rewriting it later after the contest is over.
