It's easy for me not to post here. The reason being is that I'm normally writing something else. Something that I feel takes precedence over this page which is normally some form of fiction. I started this blog, for a couple of reasons. The first is that I wanted to own my name as a domain and the other is that I thought that it would it would be cool to have a personal author type blog. A place to note the things I'm working on as a writer who is trying to get published. That was the plan and I got away from it, but perhaps it's time to get back that focus and stop writing about daily events, because really, no one cares about that anyway.
Though my novel work seems to be going nowhere fast, I feel as though I am getting better at crafting a short story. I have one out for consideration right now, but I think they have had more than enough time to consider it. It's time to do a different kind of writing and craft an email to find out what the hold up is. I have waited beyond the time stated in the submission guidelines, so there should be no issues asking for a decision on the story. I'm okay with a rejection, but at this point, I just want an answer.
There is another story that I have that I need to go through and polish up. Right now, it is just a rough draft. There is probably some cutting and adding that needs to be done, and I plan to start on it later in the week. Hopefully that story can be ready to be sent out to market by early next week. That's a good goal anyway. It may take a little longer than that depending on how many passes it takes to get everything ready to head out the door.
That's all for now. I'll check back in later with another update. Don't be surprised if it's a week or so though. Just know that whether I'm posting it here or not, I'm still out here write 'n stuff.
