Another short story finished! I've poured myself a nice cold glass of ginger ale in celebration. The feeling of actually finishing a story is so fantastic, even if it's 10,000 or 100,000 words. I can list all the proverbial idioms about climbing the mountain or finishing the race, but we all know it isn't over yet.
Next comes the actual submission. Oh, the terror!
Checking the guidelines twenty times to make sure you didn't miss a single thing. Writing that cover letter with the perfect words. Hitting send!
I have a heart attack every single time. This is why I've started taking time to actually celebrate finishing. The unwinding gives my brain a chance to reboot, which can help catch last minute typos. And that is a lifesaver.
Also, check out my "Current Writing" page above for a more up to date track of what is going on. Hopefully, there should be some new projects popping up soon!
