OMG! The past couple of days, I actually did some writing! Remember writing? This is a Web site about writing.
Mostly, I worked on a short story for an anthology Peter Buck at Elsewhen Press is considering publishing. The story is called “The Writer Did It!”; it’s a delirious mashup of half a dozen different genres. And the best part (other than the writing, I mean)? It sets up elements of the plot of my next novel (not the one I’m currently working on – number four in the series – but the one that comes after that). If the story makes it into the anthology, great. If it doesn’t, I can rework it so that it can be incorporated into the novel.
It’s all good.
I also started doing research and thinking about a short story for an anthology that focuses on Canadian mythological creatures. I even wrote a few paragraphs. I had the basic idea for the story about a month ago, when I first saw the call for submissions, but I couldn’t do much with it at the time (for reasons which everybody here should understand). I have high hopes that this story will be a lot of fun. Either way, the last couple of days have reminded me of an important truth.
Promotion is necessary. Writing is awesome.
