My August Short Story Challenge
Hello,
I’m excited about the chance to share what’s been going on.
First, Midnight Bites is now with my beta readers. It’s killing me not opening the file to tweak or make changes. Almost every day I think of something I should have done or something that needs to be done. I’m making a list but will make no changes until I get my readers’ notes.
Concentrating on short stories this August, and it’s going great. The most amazing part; most are under five-thousand words. I’ve never been able to do that. My short stories are always long. I set a goal to write one new short story or finish an existing short story each week in August. At the time of posting this, I have five completed new short stories. Fingers crossed, I get one more done.
I’ll run each short story through my WIP and make changes based on their feedback, and then I’ll send these to my editor. Planning something special with these stories: More on that later.
September will be all about me editing, editing some more, and me editing even more both Midnight Bites and these short stories. And then, there’s cover art and formatting and…. So much to do if I want the release of the box set for Midnight Whispers by New Year.
Can’t wait to share it with you. Keep your chin up and don’t forget to breathe.
