Part of my writing journey:

Blaise Pascal. 1657:

Je n’ai fait celle-ci plus longue que parce que je n’ai pas eu le loisir de
la faire plus courte.

I have made this longer than usual because I have not had time to
make it shorter.

An English translation (also attributed to Mark Twain)

My stories run up and bite me on the leg - I respond by writing down everything that goes on during the bite. When I finish, the idea lets go and runs off. Ray Bradbury

I managed a Semifinalist in Screencraft's Cinematic Short Story Contest 2018.
