Announcement: I am completely burnt out on novel writing. There’s a lot to reconsider, and I don’t want to rush and make a mistake. I’m putting the novel on the back burner until I come to grips with what I want. Rather than actually writing, I’m going to think and think and think, make notes, study, and think some more.

In happier news, full steam ahead on short stories! I am still determined to meet my goal of either publishing one story this year, or winning one award. I’ll be equally happy whichever way it goes, and I’m confident it will go one way or the other. Less time actually writing on the novel means more time revising short stories which I love to do. Going to fire up my submissions excel spreadsheet and get going. Vroom vroom! I’m so ready.
