While I can't track who's purchased my short story. I've been delayed by paying work and my hand. I almost let the short story get away from me. Stories are like that sometime, they sort of get full of themselves and are like "But I could be bigger, more complex, add to me, give me a chapter header and quadrupal my word count."
As a writer, you have to know when to say "Bullshit." and once you call bullshit the story usually shuts up and your muse goes back to singing. Then again the story can call your "Bullshit" and raised you a "Fuck you." and go dead on you. It's a risk of a dead story, but trust me people stories love being told, they are attention whores.
Now let's say you don't call "Bullshit", then you run the risk of "Writer's Block" because now your stretching your story and need more elements that are outside the structure of the story you wrote. Then of course the story starts insulting you and saying if you were a real writer you would of called bullshit. Which leads one to drink, Mojitos are my prefered drink as they give a nice buzz but don't really hammer you or inhibit your ability to write.
