standing in the hall…

I’ve not been writing here as much as I have been writing in my own little world. And though I keep setting goals for myself, life gets in the way of the small ones.

I think almost every day about setting word count goals and idea goals, prompt goals and so forth. But in the end, writing when it strikes me is the only goal I have at the moment. Soon I hope to devote full time to my stories, but at the moment there seem to be complications coming in from all sides, and lucky for me, I have the ability to give them my time.

But, I have been writing. I’ve been working over my short stories and searching for places to submit, I’ve been working diligently on Fall into Shadow, the modern version, and I’ve finally gotten past the huge brick wall keeping me from continuing Back into the Sand.

So, goal met. I wrote yesterday, I’m writing today, and I will write tomorrow. Goal. Met.

dang it, let’s try this again…

Yup, once again, I did not keep up with my goals. Ok, well that is not entirely true. I am still steadily writing Back into the Sand (BitS for short), but I’m not posting it for all to read. I have a few very kind souls who have been keeping up with it and helping me keep the characters true to military life.

On the other front, I have procured a copy of Novel and Short Story Writer’s Market. I have far too many short stories sitting on my hard drive (and elsewhere for safe keeping) not to send them out.

New beginnings. Always.
