Go away. I'm writing, a lot. When I'm not reading Marc Secchia's soon-to-be-released Aranya, which is great, by the way.

I like this other quotation, which seems to be particularly apt right now:
“Tris: "I was reading."
Sandry: "You're always reading. The only way people can ever talk to you is to interrupt."
Tris: "Then maybe they shouldn't talk to me.”

30 000 words in the last 30 days; and that's in my spare time. Mind you, I've been doing nothing much *but* writing, and a little reading, in my spare time :]

If anyone wonders, no, I'm not still using the Olivetti; it is now a word processor. But I remember being able to type at 60 words a minute when on top form, and I feel a little like that lately!

Book 540 is an Indie writers' project in the Reviews Initiative for Indie Books group, which will feature a select collection of flashtales of 540 words or less. It's a response to the junk contaminating the Indie book market, and is intended to showcase some of the good writing that's out there. I've submitted two stories of my own - but the real reward has been discovering the wonderful work that other writers have submitted. Like Sluggish Bullet, The Bliss of Innocence, The Rest of the Story (etc, etc!). Make sure you get a copy when it's done, don't miss all the submissions, because even those that might not be in the final collection (perhaps because the author has submitted too many good stories!) are excellent. Best of all, why don't you have a go yourself?
