One Edit Down

So I just finished editing my oldest good story (again), on the back of three rejections. It's now quite different from the original (one of the characters got redemption, although she still gets murdered, and there's actually a point to the story, rather than it just being "a thing that happened"). I think I've made it stronger, although I can't really be sure. I'll start looking for a home for it tonight after work, or tomorrow.

Next up on the list of things to do: Edit "August 12th 1717" into submissibility and finish writing Red Coral (which isn't the piece I really want to write, but will hopefully get my writing muscles into good enough shape to do some justice to Crescent Castle).

And I've decided to go for NaNoWriMo again this year, using the novel idea I came up with a few weeks ago and mentioned on my last blog (I've checked everywhere I can think that I might have stolen the idea from, but I can't find anywhere, so I think it's not exactly like I decided to write a book about some hobbits and a magic ring).
