This last week I’ve managed to write a bit of a record 2400 words, my best week since starting these notes, along with various bits of editing. Most of this is for the Rosalind’s Siblings submission, whose deadline is December 1st (this coming Saturday). I’m not sure that I’ll make the deadline, but if not, it’s a genre piece and I’ll see if anyone else is interested in it.

I finished off my 250 word story. It was last week’s one, though — I still need to finish this week’s one. But I got to write a bit about vampires. Double plus good.

It’s that time: once again starting a new bullet journal. I thought it’d be fun to talk a bit about the things I’ve read in the last few months (since about March, according to my journal).

I finished off last week’s flash piece earlier in the week. I’ve begun this week’s, but not yet finished it, in part because I’ve been out most of the weekend — not the best of reasons.

I finished another flash piece today. This one is quite personal, and maybe I should share it with my sister to see how she relates to it. But I now have a bit of a backlog of pieces built up, so maybe next week I’ll begin to regularly post them online.

I want to build up a habit of regularly writing and posting 250 word bits of flash fiction. Finished off my first one tonight. Kind of happy with it, since it has actual things happening in it, rather than just being an aesthetic piece like many of my others.
I’m going to build up a small buffer of stories before beginning to post them.
I’ve not managed to read much, although The Fall of Hyperion audiobook continues, and remains fun. I have the third Monstress collection waiting for me to get to as well.
What I’m reading: Saga
Earlier this week I read the first three volumes of Saga, written by Brian K. Vaughan and drawn by Fiona Staples. Sarah found them in a bookshop — she’d read them before and remembered them fondly, and was already at the checkout counter with all three by the time I caught up with her.
Back to WordPress
And so I’m moving my blog! I was maintaining it using a static site generator (Jekyll), but it’s time to head back to WordPress, where it originally began.
