A couple of quotes to ponder:   It is perfectly okay to write garbage—as long as you edit brilliantly.    C. J. Cherryh

Not that the story need be long, but it will take a long while to make it short. Henry David Thoreau

Fun prompt to get that muse working:  The fire alarm goes off in your building just as you step out of the bath. As you hurried wrap a towel around you and rushed into the hallway a shame faced neighbor rushes out of their door, apologizing profusely. “I was using my oil-less fryer and it filled the room with smoke. I opened the door to disperse it.”  How would you or your character react?
