Writing Updatia

[ellyssian]

A measly 1,000 words on The Sky Galleons of Mediolanum, bringing it just short of the lower end of the target 4,000-6,000. Of course, it needs to have been in editing a while ago, but it's there now. I'll start in on the second draft (!) while Justin goes over it to see what he thinks. There's a number of parts that need some expansion, which should easily get me into the zone count-wise. I was worried about finishing it under the 6k, and I still am. It could easily go bigger, so I'll have to be careful.

No progress on anything else writing-wise, although I did get the Green Man Envy site converted over to more of a writing-related purpose.

I received a rejection on my poem "fey", but I might see if there's another market for it. Another poem will be appearing on Green Man Envy tomorrow, so stay tuned!

There's a couple of days left on the 20% off sale over at Lulu, where you can get my short story collection Cautionary Fables: Warts & All, at my Author Spotlight. Grab the code off the main page ~ the first link ~ then go to the second link to order the e-Book and paperback. The sale ends on Friday, so act now! (Please!? =)
