Our heroine promised to turn “Planet P4-98” into a novel during NaNoWriMo later this year, dear Reader. That’s much bigger than I expected it to be (would you believe I started out to make it a single flash?). As a result, I decided to stop forcing the story into flashes. Instead, I’ll be plotting and notecarding and bigboarding behind the scenes, all in preparation for NaNo.
I’ve been dragging my heels on this decision, kidding myself that Part Three only needed to make the leap from my mind onto the blank document. It refused to do so. I finally listened. I’m a little slow sometimes.
Thank you for the encouragement you offered in your comments. Each was happily received. I hope you’ll stick around for more #FridayFlash as I get back on the rails. Again. (Barring going into exile. Again.)

I’m so glad this one is headed toward being a novel! Excellent decision. 🙂

I’m happy you feel that way. I’m excited about it. I’ll take some time to outline it, explore the two worlds and come up with a decent ending. (The one I had in mind wasn’t fantastic.) I’m also thrilled to be free to write regular flash again. I’ve already got the rough draft for the next one and may have the one after. Thank heavens for #storystarters! Thanks, Johanna.
Take care,
JC
