queenoftheskiesLike I really need a new project, right? Sheesh!
But, I needed a short story for a Halloween contest in an online writing group I belong to, and it suddenly hit me that I could use the idea I had for a screenplay I started and then never had time to finish. So, I thought, yeah, that would work.
Then, I thought, hmm, this could do double service. The short story contest has a 10,000 word limit. So, I write a 10,000 word short story for this idea, and then, I expand it into a novel and submit it to an online e-book publisher I've been considering. Or, who knows? Maybe I'll just submit it to a regular publisher, assuming I finish, with everything else I've got going on.
I have to have the short story finished by midnight Sunday night. Can I do that? Well, I'm anxiously waiting to find out. Going to give it a try.
At any rate, it's called Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory and it's a horror story set during the Civil War time period, which I've always been fond of, since I grew up in Nashville, but I've never really written much in.
Fingers crossed that I'll finish in time. :)
