Work in Progress

Taking a page from 'Nathan, here's a peek inside the folder on my computer labeled "3. WORKING" (in case you're interested, the others are "1. PUBLISHED" and "2. DONE").

A Murder of Crows
Amazons
Awakening
Celestine
dog
fiveminutefiction
Haven
hearts
Seven Boxes
story (yes, really, that's the filename—I haven't opened the file since 2002; I have no idea what that one's about)
Straightening Up
Tea
The Client
The Curious Case of Buttons (it's about a cat named Buttons—no, really)
The Messenger (this one will never see the light of day, I assure you)
The Teacher

And just for today, I'll tell you about the files in the "2. DONE" folder, because I have a feeling some of them really aren't—done, that is:

Blackout
By the Numbers
Heroine
Normal
Reunion (that one's not done so much as dead and buried)
Something like Heaven
The Long Ride Home
The Sidekick
Waiting Room
Walking (that one I originally wrote in 1988—I cringe at the thought of opening it and reading what I thought was good 23 years ago)

This doesn't even include the stories that have been started and exist in a file called "ideas.doc"—one of those in particular I am really eager to start, but it'll have to wait until next year, once I clear my current projects list.

So, since 'Nathan made the same offer, if you name one of these, I'll tell you what it's about. Mostly. Maybe.
