Fingers crossed.

I'm tired. Ready to curl up with kitties (cause it's been COLD at night) and sleep. Kitties are good to keep their mommy warm. :)

I worked on a lot of different things today. I'm not sure why.

I pulled up two short stories (Spilt Milk and The Replacement) and did some editing on them.

Spilt Milk was just a straight edit. Did a couple of passes on it and then

bachsoprano took a look at it for me and made some VERY valuable comments.

THANKS, CAT!!! I appreciate your time and comments sooo MUCH.

So, I'll be doing another pass on it, possibly this week. I might actually submit it this spring.

The Replacement needed more work than that. It was 500 words and started out as an exercise and needed more content. So, I think it's an actual open WIP again. And, I decided that I could make a larger story out of it for a screenplay. So...I startd a screenplay today for the first time in a while.

Then, of course, I worked on Out of the Darkness tonight and got quite a bit done on it. Upped my word count estimate again...story of my life. There are lots of words that I'll cut when I tighten. Probably 25,000 easily. (Famous last words) Might move some more scenes to Xanali. I'll decide in rewrite. Not going to stress over that now.
