Progress Report, February March 2025

First off, I finished a longer story (one I started maybe a year or so ago!) Sent it off to the Saturday Evening Post where I’ve received encouraging rejections in the past. It’s one of a series of stories and I am working on another in the series. (I’ve been lazy but I’ve been working on it!)

Wrote at least one poem and started on another (maybe more.)

Wrote or finished a few of the Queer SciFi columns I’d started last month. I feel better having a few “at the ready” for the next couple of months.

Got ideas for and plotted out (half-assed) a few longer stories.

Wrote the weekly flash fiction stories and the monthly one as well.

I am slipping into that stereotype of the guy who watches videos all night instead of getting the writing done. Need more discipline; I’m kind of slipping.

And as I was readying this post I found the story I sent to the Post was rejected (nicely!) so I sent it off somewhere else!

That’s progress!

That’s about it for now!
