The original plan
Back in September, I started writing a story on Medium with the working title “The Closed Door”. I intended to create one chapter each week, all on the fly, to add spontaneity to my writing. My unfinished draft would be published, my rough and unpolished soul shown to the world. I hoped to lure readers back for more as the story progressed. By Christmas, there were supposed to be around ten chapters.
