September's Writing Progress
I finished the short story that I mentioned in last month's post. It came in at about 9,000 words. The ending is wide open for a sequel, though I don't know if I'll write one. In a novel, you should usually ask a big question and then answer it, but in a short story, it's OK to just ask a big question and let the reader decide the answer for themselves.
I realised that I now have nearly enough short stories to make a collection (eight of them, totalling about 25,000 words), so I think that'll be my next project after The Dragons of Asdanund is out of the way. It'll be called Racing the Storm, with the usual caveat of "unless I think of something I like better." This will also be the title of one of the stories, which I haven't written yet. It comes from a picture I drew many years ago that I thought would make a good cover.
I also resumed The Case of the Missing Spy, my second Doctor Fung story. I added about 2,000 words to it, and I'm closing in on the end.
