Oops--I missed Monday's post! I'd like to claim it's because I was honoring the holiday, but the truth is, I'm out of the habit of writing regular posts. Given my schedule for the next few months, I may stay that way.
My big writer news for the week: the draft of Seffi's story (title still in the works) is um, complete? It never feels like the glorious moment of triumph that it sounds--my first drafts tend to kind of drift off to the ending, maybe without even attempting the final resolution. I'm still not sure I've even got the right solution to the murder.
So yeah, the draft is done. I'll be back at it in December. In the mean time, I'm doing a beta read or two, applying to artist's residencies, trying to write some blog posts ahead, and ready to once again get serious about the shift to my new blog/author page. That's almost ready and waiting, I think?
Oh, and when I finish all that, plus editing all those photos from the last trip, I can start thinking about more flash fiction collections--and about submitting stories for publication.
Look for more exciting updates once I've caught my breath! Meanwhile, watch for photos from the August Sierra expeditions!

Good update. Good to know you’re doing some beta reading. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
ReplyDeleteHi Rebecca - it's good to take time out to sort things ... and especially be away hiking and spending time in the mountains. That tree is amazing isn't it ... I do love to look at them when they've held on to life for so long ... all the best - Hilary
