Done! BUAHAHAHAH!

I finished a short story called "Sister, Sister," which is about demonic possession. I'm editing it now, getting critiques, and exploring possible places to sell it.

The final incarnation of this story is about 6000 words long.

I'm so glad to have it finally finished. I started writing it shortly after my best friend, Shweta, shared a song with me called "The Bonny Swans." This is the last thing of mine that my father ever got to help me with, and I wish he was here to finally read the ending.

Curious parties can read it via email, if they ask me really nicely.

Back to what I actually, you know, do.

With the semester over, I can finally start worrying about fiction again.

I've shipped An Exploration of Obsession (820 words, romance/humor) out to Saint Ann's Review.

Likewise, I'm trying a more literary piece, Eavesdropper, (600 words) out at ChiZine, though I have a feeling it isn't quite dark enough to be their cuppa.

If either of my two readers would like to read these, shoot me a line.

I AM still working on the Spider Slayer novel. It's sitting at about 11,000 words, but it's on a tiny hiatus until I finish a short story with the working title, "The Giant," which currently occupies 1200 words of my computer.

Pumped out a new short story.

I'm calling it Captain Richelieu's Escape and its the first finished thing out of my Skies over Europa world. Its a little over 1,000 words; if you're curious, leave a comment with your email address and I'll let you see it over google documents. I'm a bit iffy on the ending, but then, I always am.

Over and Out,

-1:59 PM-

I've submitted this story via snail mail to Fantasy & Science Fiction Magazine.

The Swan

I've just submitted The Swan (Not Two Sisters, which is now something completely different) to Shimmer.

Wish me luck.

Woo!

I finally pounded out an ending to The Swan. And I've renamed it Two Sisters.

This is a huge victory for me. That story has been mocking me for a good, solid month.

I'll babble more when I start shopping it around.
