Squee!

It was a pretty big week.

And, of course, I had a meeting that prevented me from being able to open this announcement up so I could find out whether I’d been accepted or if it was a consolation notice.

Sometimes a story sticks in your head and expands without conscious thought as it demands to be shared with the world. This was one of those stories. I can’t wait until you can read it.

I don’t know yet if I’ll be able to make FantiSci – will you be there? Let me know! Fingers crossed it will work out.

March is a long time away. Here’s a MidJourney teaser for you in the meantime.

Timelines & Deadlines

I’ve been dragging on a few items, for a number of reasons. Plot problems that I finally got unstuck on. Unmotivated after long days. Distracted by the garbage disposal leaking black sludge everywhere. That really good series I just discovered on KU. You know – life.

But I’ve got a couple anthologies that I want to put in for (and one I was accepted into, yay!), and some short deadlines. That puts a whomping push on book two, which is giving me more fits than book three, or the short story that comes in between them.

Or the other short stories that won’t let my brain go.

And if I’m not accepted, the external pressure’s off, but I’ll still work on the stories to release at a later date.

It’s not a bad thing, to have goals. We’ll see how far I can get. If nothing else, this should up my daily wordcount and rebuild the habit of writing. I’ve gotten sloppy. Even modest goals can help.
