I've submitted a short story to some competitions this morning. Usually I would tinker with a story for several months or longer until I got the mysterious feeling of it being done. Then I would prepare to submit it to various places and make more tweaks before hitting the send/submit button. This time, I wrote the story after a dream, which is typical. After initial feedback from my husband and two rounds of workshopping and subsequent fixes, I decided to send it in. I don't have the feeling that it's done, but I'm not sure what else to do to it. This time it's like the story is finished on an intellectual level rather than a mysterious, emotional level.
