today is a big head empty day, sorta. I'm rewriting a short story. again. every time I edit this one, it expands. it started as a 2,700ish word story. then became 3200ish words. this version is now 4500ish words... I'm trying to give my ideas proper space, which was this story's main feedback 😅

Ah, yes. "Room to breathe." My old nemesis. Hope this version goes well for you!

This always happens to me!! Like, what do you mean I have to show the reader how I got from point A to point C by showing point B??
