I did 923 words on the new story yesterday, and finished it. Well, except for a polish today. I read the whole thing through to Kathryn and Jennifer last night. I think they like it a lot more than I do, but that's nothing new. I am my harshest critic. Okay, not my harshest. But harsh. It still has no title. I'll have to find it one today. As for the ending, my comments yesterday, about finding the true ending, were oddly prescient. Actually, this story has two endings, one of which is the truth, and one of which is merely wishful thinking on the part of the narrator. Regardless, it's almost done. The word count stands at 11, 238. The final will be a little higher or a little lower.
I've let the proofreading on Low Red Moon (both editions) and the final work on The Five of Cups ms. go neglected too long. I have to attend to both in the next couple of days. Well, the work on Low Red Moon will require a week, at least, to complete, but I'll be getting started on it today, hopefully.
I suppose that's it for today. I'm more in work mode than waxing-tedious-in-the-blog mode. Etc. Etc. Etc.
