Totally floored! I read over a story I’d started in 1999, “A Dinner At Megacles” and realized I only needed to do one descriptive scene in the middle and the first draft would be finished! Now, I just have to revise it a bit and it’ll be ready to send off! (Finished it, sent it off, got rejected, sending it off again!)

Wrote one Queer Sci Fi column, started work on another.

Wrote the weekly and monthly stories.

Started doing what will be a monthly look at the 1973 animated kids show “My Favorite Martians.”

Worked on the novellas I’m wanting to finish and a couple are near ready. Worked on several short stories, including adding a page to one where the market wanted more wordcount.

And, I have been keeping with my New Year’s Resolution of writing four pages a day, even if I don’t always do it. But it’s a serious prompt and somedays I do a page or two, sometimes I do the four or more!

That’s about it for now!
