Once again my story submissions have slipped past my notice and the number of stories in circulation reached dangerously low levels.  I managed to get five back out the door this weekend with another five lying in wait of attention.  Maybe I’ll get them out by week’s end.

I need to do a thorough, introspective analysis of why I don’t do a better job of keeping them moving.  Heck, one of those had only been to one market…in January.  I let a perfectly good story sit and fester for ten months?  Okay, it wasn’t really a “perfectly good” story.  I recently described it as “unsaleable” which is pretty much the opposite of “perfectly good”.  I was wrong, though, and now the story is out in the world, rubbing elbows with perfectly good stories.  I’m making it a personal goal to sell that one.

I won’t wax on about how I need to get in gear on my steampunk story.  That horse has been beaten to death.  I made a little progress over Thanksgiving, but I need to grind out about 8k by Thursday to meet my goal of a finished draft by month’s end.  Yeah…no point exploring the odds of that happening.

More when it’s less 1-AM-ish.
