August's Writing Progress

I wrote another 3,000 words of The Last Dragonrider, which now stands at 103,000 words.

I wrote a new short story of about 2,700 words, in response to a prompt from the St Annes group. That has the working title of "Home Alone in Space," which will obviously have to change before it's published. (Many sci-fi movies are pitched as "Some movie you've already seen, but in space," for the benefit of unimaginative studio executives. The first Alien movie, for instance, was pitched as "Jaws in space.")

We went to Ireland for a reunion of some of Breda's cousins, which was my first time flying in about six years. I don't think any of it will end up in a story, though maybe there's a tale to tell about how Breda managed to convince the DJ to let me perform The Lion and Albert in the karaoke session...
