In my last newsletter, I
wrote that I hoped to have my next collection, The Uncapped Pen, out
sometime in May. Well, polishing it up
is taking longer than I had hoped. In
the beginning of May, I set June 1st as my goal to finish it. And the next day the Writers Guild of America
went on strike. I am not a member of the
WGA, but it didn’t seem like a good idea to release a collection of stories
about writing during a writer’s strike. So
my plan right now is to finish polishing it up – I’m like 98% done – and then
wait until the strike is over. Then I’ll
give it another read through, and publish it a few days later.

I continued my Monthly
Stories this quarter with “Inevitable?” “Two Futures,” and “In a Privileged World.” I also republished the short story “Fighting Dirty.”
I also published two
haikus, one in April and one in June.

This quarter I only
managed to write up one Free Story Idea, which was for A Star Wars Story. I also only did one #RandomStoryIdea.

Recently, I’ve tried
posting more microfiction on my Mastodon Account. I keep track of all the stories I publish,
but do microfiction stories count? At
some point, I decided that if it had a title, it was a story that I would count
and link to on my website. Untitled
microfiction stories were just left to be lost on the internet, until I made a site for them.
