So far, so good. I think I made some real progress this month, and my two shorts/novellas I’ve been working on are… starting to feel quite solid.
One (Learned in Blood) needs some work on the opening passages, the other (Vermin Vandal Veritas, or possibly Veritas of a Vermin Vandal) wants a little more rewriting, but it’s getting closer.
The plan for this month is largely to see if I can get those into pristine shape, at which point I can start sending them around for feedback – and, after that, at some point, you will either have something new to read on here or they’ll go out to try and find a home to be published at.
Otherwise, the weather is hot, so take care of yourselves – over here I’m managing, though I am strongly debating becoming nocturnal for the duration of upcoming heatwaves.
On another short note, I did manage to take last week off, and… wow. I needed it. With a little luck, I’ll find room to take another off at some stage, because that didn’t feel like enough time off, but for now I’m eager to see what progress happens over the next few weeks.
As usual, thank you so much for your support, your interest, and your kindness – the opportunity to entertain people is a huge joy in my life, so thank you for giving me your time to let me try and do so.
