Just something short tonight, because it's very late and I'm very tired. I got the story off to The Spook today. Look for it in March. If you don't already know the URL (and you should), I'll post it here later (or you can be adventurous and use Google). For what it's worth, I now have fourteen stories for the next collection after From Weird and Distant Shores. I expect it to be a longer book, more like Tales of Pain and Wonder — so there'll probably be about 20 stories when I'm done. But that's still a long, long way in the future.
There's a danger that this journal shares with any sort of writing, a danger that just occurred to me. Simply put, the temptation to continue speaking when, for the time being, you've really said all there is to say. I'd be willing to suppose that at least 50% of good writing is just knowing when the hell to shut up.
