Goals Day
Guess who has two thumbs and wrote a short story over the weekend?
This writer!
(Imagining me gesturing to myself with my thumbs -- or giving a salute Don Cherry style. Whichever you prefer)
I am so wonderfully excited about being back in the fiction saddle. The story turned out well (Twostripe liked it, which I consider a success -- he's not obligated to like my writing, but he is obligated to tell me if he doesn't, so I'm always pleased when I get approval from him on a first draft). I'm hoping to get a couple of reader responses this week so I can get it off in the e-mail in time for the submission deadline. I am so glad that I had a deadline to shoot for -- it made me consider the work urgent and important, not just important. (Important work that isn't urgent gets shoved down on the priority list under things that are urgent but not important, sadly. That's just how it goes!)
At any rate, next week, I'll probably post a teaser, but for now, I'm just glad I have something to report for Kaz's Summer Camp! Hint: It's a Hobbomock story, so I've finally written something about the Sleeping Giant. (In the process of writing it, I've discovered that the Quinnipiac Tribal Council has put a lot more information up online, and I'm psyched to dig through that.)
Are any of the rest of you campers? I'm embarrassed to say I'm not reading all the notes on Kaz's posts. (I also hear she's under the weather, so I'm about to pop over there, hoping that she's feeling better.)
