Some Short-Term Self-Imposed Deadlines

March 8, 2010

March 26th – Applications close for the 2010 Creative Fellowships at the SLV

March 31st – Going Down Swinging submissions close (done)

May 10th – ABR Short Story Competition submisssions close*

*I am currently wavering over what writing project I want to work on next: My Big Fat Fantasy Novel or something new? This something new will be a series of short stories linked (in some way) to one tragic event. I can’t give too much away at the moment (partially because I don’t want to, and partially because I’m not 100% sure if the current ending will be ‘the’ ending), but it is nice to finally feel again that sense of lightness, of possibility.

I should feel the same about MBFFN, though. I first decided to chop out the beginning and have it start where chapter six used to be and then the other morning Adam rolled over to me in bed, just as we woke up, and said, “I know how you can fix it”.

And his suggestion left me thinking, by gum, he might be right…

What else are you gentle folk working on at the moment? Writing? Crafting? Painting? Sewing? Do tell.

Writing. Lots of writing. Also, apparently I’m covered in glue or something, at least, that’s what my children seem to believe, that they are stuck to me.

I’m probably one of only a handful apart from yourself who has read the BFFN, and I remember really enjoying it (which is a kudo to you as it’s not my chosen genre generally). I would love to see it fleshed out but perhaps in time…if you have other ideas get them written down. I’d like to see them too. After all, aren’t you an award-winning short story writer? ;-)
