And from what I recall about authors talking about writing short stories, I think I've seen many that say it's harder than writing novels. I can't remember if that's from the perspective of authors who wrote novels first.
And anyway, just because this story took this long and this much work, doesn't mean the next one will. Maybe some of the groundwork here will spark off something else later. Possibly the groundwork needed to be done, but it may not be that much every single time. And go you for having persisted and worked and got there in the end.
