A new month

Well March has arrived and I can only hope that the perfect query letter is in my near future. Remains slightly frustrating that the work is never judged only a letter that may or may not even be about the story. Regardless I continue to try as the days pass by.

2/24 #3

Yes so it is my 3rd post today but just brief update... Sent out another novel query to new agent listed in New York and also sent out Manuscript submission for my Flash Fiction story I just posted below.

Another Diversion

So tried something new called 'flash fiction' which is basically a very short story. The website I was looking at defined flash as 500-1000 words. I couldn't resist and finished a little story about two hours later. It was fun and I plan on submitting that story later today. Also I'll post the flash fiction story here in a little while.

No new queries have been received or sent out. Depending on my day, I might change that.

Undecided

So I’m having difficulty trying to decide if writing more short stories is good practice or go ahead and move onto the second novel. Either way I am still writing and keeping myself busy.

I like the idea of putting short stories up for people to look at, but some feedback would be nice. Not asking for much but if you like or dislike the story, drop me a line.

New type of posts

Going to start adding something new to this blog... My short stories that I've finished. Not all maybe about Molior or fantasy fiction but I'll try to warn you ahead of time. Hope you enjoy. If you like or dislike, any feedback is appreciated. All blogs and short stories will be labeled as such so you can easily locate them.

Before I finish, there have been no new queries. I stopped sending out so quickly, wanted to slow down and write something new. Not giving up... just slowing down.

Slacking or Busy?

Well i have not been posting lately nor sending out queries. I have been busy working, extracurricular activities and writing a short story. This short story project has been a lot of fun and challenging. When writing a novel I can spend time and words describing a simple object or emotion, however with a short story it can be very limiting. It does not take long to rack up a word count that reaches the limits of what a short story is classified as.

So yes I am slacking but who is keeping track?
