The hardest part of writing has got to be doubt. Picked up an old story that I hadn't looked at in almost one year, and have started reworking it. How can I shorten a story of such a magnitude and depth to what is the "acceptable" length. Maybe it takes time to step away from a story that you've become so close to and see the mistakes and content that just isn't necessary. Who knows, seems like a constant learning curve for me, but I'm not ready to give up yet.

Nothing current to announce except that I haven't been working on anything. Well maybe personal reading. Hard to get motivated sometimes and buckle down to finish up a story. Maybe it is time to dust off the story I was editing. Seems to me, finding time to work and the motivation are the hardest aspects of writing.

Another year has arrived and I'm eager to begin searching for an agent that is right for me. If I keep writing and keep trying to improve the craft I love, then maybe one day my luck will change.

With the new year, I'm wiping the slate clean and the statistics from last year are not a concern anymore. I've got two stories nearly ready to send out, we'll see what happens.
