First story of the year.

[temporus]

Finally.

First short story draft of the year completed. 8600 words.  Ick.  3,000 of those were from tonight, because I just needed to finish this story already.  It's going to be a lot of editing.   I was originally thinking like 4K.  This is one that's going to need some serious work to get it submission ready.

Tomorrow, on to the next story.   I really need to learn how to write stories shorter than 4,000 words.  This longer stuff is just going to be a pain to try and sell.

Yeah. Move on to the next story. I once chopped my way like hell through a short story and got it reduced to two-thirds its original size. Cutting something down to half, though, might be a lot tougher, soo good luck. ;)
