Writing Update!

How has my writing been coming? Well, I completely a story in May - that would be "The Human Twist" while blogging everyday on Lyme. You can read those posts by going to my Lyme Files index like page thingy.

Well, I got a rejection letter. Hot dog!



I think I entered two "short-story" contests. My first story is about 10,000 words which makes it not eligible for most contests. I'll keep plugging away on the whole thing.

And this is how I do:

1. The Calpurnia Mission: 9,298 words
2. The Rebel Lion: 13,360 words
3. Between Life and Dark: 12,480 words
4. The Stark Truth 14,978 words
5. Of Haves and Wants: 30,516 words
6. Safe Harbor: 15,799 words
7. Rebel Valley: 26,781 words
8. Of the Best Intentions: 15,724 words
9. Eight o' Clock: 19,395 words
10. Underground: 17,944 words
11. Salon des Refues: 15,338 words
12. Into the Smoke: 12,273 words
13. The Human Twist: 18,817 words
14. Unknown: In progress, completion by June 30

That's a total of 186,154 words so far. I don't know what that means in the writing industry. I'm still working in isolation with it. I had a couple people who I sent up to "The Stark Truth" to, but, little communication after that.

Sometimes, it's just nice to hear someone's thoughts both good and bad. And also to have someone help me with grammar.

I guess eventually, I will be sending this to be professional edited. I think I have. . .shoot. A lot more to go. I guess there are going to be 30 to 33 of these stories. Maybe I'm half way there. Yeah. That sounds good.
