If I push this into a longer story or look to submit it somewhere to be published,
The plan for the Ink Well is to develop it so that it becomes a go-to place on the Internet for stunning short stories and, through that, to create an alternative, long-term income for writers. We are looking for stories that are developed and finished, although occasionally there is a place for a post talking about the process of writing.
You can find out more about plans for The Ink Well in the latest newsletter.
I'm not sure which left bracket you are talking about (I cannot see one in your post) but the lefthand line in the previous comment and this one denotes a quote.
