September/October 2025

Some surprising progress to report!

I started working on a longer story (I’ve been slacking off on longer stories!) and then I stumbled across a file with a story I started a few years ago and wrote out a page or so on this second story. Then I went down to the library the next day and wrote out (in my spiral bound notebook) a synopsis/outline for the second story. I also have a market for it. And I’m hoping to get this and the first story done by the end of the year.

Appropriate as one of them is called “The Yuletide Horror.” (A title I think I should change!)

I did some work on the longer story I want to finish by the end of the year. If I work at it I can have both of these done by January First.

Of course, I did the usual columns and Flash fictions, including finishing three short-shorts in one day (something I am deliriously proud of!) so I feel a little more productive this time around.

That’s about it for now…
