Starting Again
The blog, not the writing. Although I haven't done much of either lately. So, a general update.
I have two submissions out waiting for responses (one at 1097 magazine and the other at Murky Depths) and I'm expecting to hear on both of those in the next six or seven weeks. I have a couple of pieces I'm actively working on rewriting/editing that I hope to get out somewhere in the next ten days or so. And I have three short stories and one longer piece that have been sitting on my hard drive since forever and are currently further down the work queue, as I'm currently less interested in and excited over those. But hopefully somewhere along the line I'll do something with those.
I'm also writing a new short story (this wouldn't be that interesting except I haven't really done this for a while, and I really like this story). In a way, I'm almost scared to write it as it all looks and sounds very cool in my head, but when it comes out on paper it all sounds flat and lame. I know the answer is to get over myself and just do it, but that's not going so well right now.
I'm also mid contemplation on a novel project (most of which is concerning my fears that I read the blurb on the back of a book somewhere and I now think it's an original idea). I know I've been here before, with a failed novel and two failed series' behind me, but this time I'm really serious.
No, really.
