Re: Question (in need of advice)

There's two things that have helped me curb my tendency for epic-length stories.

1) I joined a writing community that has prompt-based drabble challenges. Having to condense an idea into such a small space is very challenging, but it has helped me reign in some of my wordy tendencies.

2) I saw earlier that you like to write slow-burn romances. Why not try writing what I think is called "curtainfic". Instead of trying to tell the entire story at once, break it up into vignettes. Like character "x" and character "y" go to the store type stuff. or "x" and "y" have a midnight deadline. They find out that morning and have to work together. Pick a moment. You don't have to write the beginning, middle, and end all the time. :)
