Update
Despite few updates this month so far, I'm still hard at work trying to finish this new story. It's very very slow going, but I'm working at it. The thing that's frustrating me so much is that I can see the story, beginning to end, clearly in my head, but getting it from pictures in my head to words on the page is proving more difficult than usual, and I can't figure out why. I'm working on it, though, slowly, word by word. I got about 600 today, and the story is up to about 2400.
On the days I seem to have more trouble than usual on the story I've been working on another collection, this one a one-volume compilation of my three short story collections, Terrible Thrills, Icons to Ashes and Dancing on a Razorblade. I spent quite a while yesterday hunting down the cover photo, and I finally found it last night. But now with the cover out of the way, I have to set it aside and concentrate on the story; I want a first draft by Friday, then I can finish the omnibus.
And then there are the anthology submissions. Man, that's a lot of stories. But I'm getting them read, one story at a time.
