Tne twelve short stories target for the year:
– Two stories (“The Tape” and “Buckets”) completed and, er, rejected by publication outlets. “Buckets” got shortlisted with some very nice words in rejection. Pleased by that. The benefit of good commentary from kind readers, there.
– Untitled walking story – still haven’t returned to this, still think it’s pretty much unsalvageable.
– “Babel” – have had good reader feedback. Needs some careful thinking and another pass.
– “The Twelve Times I Drank Too Much” – draft all typed up but haven’t sent it to anyone yet.
– “Confession” and “The Big Drive” both exist as notes and snippets only. Not good enough! Keep at it mr orgue!
Comic still progressing. Regular meetings with artist, pages slowly incrementing. Verra slowly.
Sekret writing project Marie Antoinette event – now officially announced. Rehearsals proper start Monday, yay!
Ron the Body has been back in the marketplace, too. Sample response from a UK agency: “I enjoyed this, but it’s not quite right for my contacts.” Onwards!
