It feels incredible to be able to make this post, to have completed the anthology, all those short stories. I’m really proud of most of them. I know I did some very good work with them. I’ve gone through and edited all of them one last time. At some point I’ll probably upload updated versions of the stories, but not this week.
I’m waiting until the third novel is available via Amazon before I make a general post about it, but it’s currently up on both Smashwords and B&N.
I keep trying to edit “Clockwork Kingdom.” I’m finding it very difficult, however, because my brain really wants to write the next short story (“High-Stakes Hell”, another of the “Hell” stories. Yes, bluffing against creatures who don’t feel passion like the living makes poker very interesting.) I’m not sure how to accomodate it. I’m not sure how to work on both. I’m afraid if I start writing the next story, I won’t pay enough attention to “Clockwork Kingdom” and really, that novel deserves more. So I’m thinking about it, trying to make it all work and keep my writerly brain happy.
This morning I went to yoga. It’s such a lovely way to start the day. This afternoon I have my first east coast swing dance lesson. In between I have house stuff and writing stuff and believe it or not, I’ve actually started my holiday cards (the new due date, for me, is the end of January.) I hope that ya’ll are having as wonderfully relaxing and productive a day as I am.
