The Long and the Short of it

The long of it is the mystery novel, a decent first draft of which I’m still hoping to have completed before the end of the year. This year. Yikes. Considering that the noise I keep hearing is not the wind wuthering around the house, but time howling hysterically as it zips past, I’d better get moving.

The short of it is several short stories, one of which, I hope, is very close to being sent out into the world. I also have a one page flash fiction piece that I should be sending out this week. Then there are three other short stories that I need to polish and revise. Then rewrite. Then polish and revise. And then, maybe, if they don’t need another rewrite, they’ll be heading out into the world, too.

I'm wishing myself luck.
