I started working on a new story this morning and told myself that I'd finish it by the end of the day. It's now 1:40 am here, technically tomorrow, but since I haven't slept it doesn't count as tomorrow. The story is finished, and lo and behold, the final word count fell into my sweet-spot range, which I've mentioned before is 3000-3500 words. It's a quiet horror piece, tentatively titled. Feels good to hammer out a story of decent length (and hopefully decent quality) in one day. Been a while since that happened, what with working on the novel and all.

"Patience"


3538 / 3538 words. 100% done!

Actually, the words tend to trickle when I'm working on the novel. At least, lately they do. Yesterday was just one of those rare days when writing felt really easy to me. My internal editor must have been sleeping on the job. :-)

Thanks, Mark. I read it over today and it doesn't completely suck, so that's a relief. :-)
