Handwritten draft

Yes... that is a handwritten draft of my latest short story...


Finished the first - and very rough draft - of the "ghost train" piece.  I'm thinking this one will come in around 7,500 to 8,000 words when typed and edited.  Yes, that makes it a long one!

And yes...  that is a blank page (with a few muddled notes) there on the right!  The editing and "re-writing" process is very much under way.  I would normally wait and let things "cool off" a bit before slicing and dicing, but...  I have a semi- self-imposed deadline that I'm trying very earnestly to hit!  The target publisher for this one closes to open submissions on a certain date.

I will also have good news about another story to post here soon.  Received an e-mail accepting it for publication, but don't have the details as to when exactly that will be...  It could be very soon, so...  Stay tuned!
