I'm not sure what to do.
In an attempt to prevent my brain from atrophying since lockdown I have tried to keep my mind bright by writing a story in my head.
Having posted a small segment (Love conquers all/Charlotte's story) I have begun to put finger to keyboard in an attempt to capture the whole story.
The problem I have is that it is quite long, even in its unfinished state.
I have tried condensing parts of it into "bite-sized" stories but apart from Charlotte's story, it just doesn't work.
Setting the scene before I even start takes up four A4 pages whereas "Charlotte's story" was only two and a half.
The first part is currently at ten pages and probably 3/4 completed at best. I don't know what the word/character count is for a single post, but I'm quite sure the first part won't fit into a single post. I would need to post it across at least two and possibly three posts to get it all in.
All the subsequent sub-stories are likely to be just as long, even though the whole thing is still a short story.
I have therefore come up with the idea of posting each part/chapter as a word document in sequence, but I'm not really sure if I should.
I have no idea whether the story, or series of stories will be any good, or if anyone would want to read it. I'm not talking about your average post here. It would be the equivalent of a dozen or more long posts in a sequence.
What I don't want to do is drip feed the story in a series of separate threads. I would rather they were all in one place in the correct order.
I shall finish writing the story no matter what, just to make sure it doesn't get lost in my head, but I'm not sure this forum is the correct place to show it purely because it will be so long.
