So I’m averaging about one post a month, which is awesome. Hey, I’m busy writing stuff, what do you want from me? That’s completely rhetorical, so shut up.
What’s new on the writing front? I finally got around to posting a preview of The Red. This last edit that I did took about ten percent out of the manuscript, and I feel like they were very necessary cuts. Now that I feel better about, I’m going to start sending it out again.
In the meanwhile, I’ve written a few more short stories, which as I’ve posted about before, are also being circulated. Recently, I made myself a promise that if I got tired of sending them out, I’d just post them on my site. Even though there’s no publishing credit in that, I get a lot of satisfaction out of having other people read my work. Occasionally – and it is rare – someone will tell me that they liked a story. Well, shucks, that’s like Christmas morning for a simple ol’ writer like me. There’s one story in particular that I’m wanting to post. Kind of a double-edged sword, the story has been getting good consideration from the places I’ve submitted to, but no one’s actually bitten yet. The fact that I like it makes me want to post it, but it also makes me believe that it’s got a good shot of being published as well.
You know what? I just made up my mind, it’s going up.
Enjoy.
