What SHORT FORM taught me

After all my submissions to the 10-Day Short Form Challenge were published, I was elated. Almost like getting a Star on my report card from my teacher at school. But then what after that?

I was wondering if I should watch out for more such writing prompts or look out for contests where I can submit my entries or probably go back to writing things normally.

I had started believing that for anything to be something, it has to start somewhere and I assumed that my journey with Short Form had started with no looking back.

And that was when it struck me hard. No one tells you what to do after you start something. It almost sounded like a farce now. For a minute I felt that starting something just doesn’t help much at all.

So, I decided to start once again.
