Another story off into the void. I wrote two flash pieces during the last weekend (I almost did three but ran out of time) and they’re now cleaned up and ready for the world.
My goal for the second half of the year is to submit more. I have been pretty good at putting out content, at least as first draft. Now is the time to take the next step: getting it out there. And not just short stories. I have three novels completed, one is almost done with the editing and ready for Amazon. I am going to try very hard to actually do the work required to get them ready and then send them out. The ‘sending out’ is the hard part for me.
I don’t know if its laziness or a writerly reluctance to let people see my flaws, as every editing pass I do, I seem to find something wrong. My guess is it’s a bit a both. I do have a certain anxiety regarding Smooth Running, since it’s my first novel and had its plot grafted on midway through the drafting process. On the other hand, I know my stuff is good. Some of it might even be great. So what am I afraid of?
Everything.
But that’s no excuse. I’ll keep sending stuff out and I’ll do a better job of keeping you up to date. For all you other writers out there, just send it out.
