Probably the biggest writing
news for this first quarter of 2024, is that for the first time in years I’ve
submitted a story to a magazine. I’m
still waiting to hear if they’ll accept it, but I hopefully will have good news
on it for next quarter.
#
I’ve continued writing a
story for my website each month, publishing “Scheming,” “Outstanding Merit,”
and “Always a Catch.” I’ve also posted “Deaf Ears,” “Always Have a Strong Finish,” and “Deadweight” on my Ko-fi account.
And I also posted “How Did They Get Our Number?” on one of my blogs.
#
In these three months, I’ve
posted microfiction stories on my Mastodon and Bluesky profiles on the following
days: 1/12, 3/6, 3/11, 3/20, 3/23, and 3/25.
I’ve also posted haikus on 1/8, 2/19, 3/4, 3/18, and 3/26. I’m slowly working on collections of both, so
my plan is to post them more often to force myself to write the hundreds of
each I need. I guess we’ll see how well
I do.
#
In this quarter, I only
managed one Free Story Idea, that of Star Jumping. In my last Newsletter I wrote that I was
thinking of only doing one a quarter, but I had been trying to do one every
other month. But, like other times, it
seemed other things kept coming up. And
as with everything else, we’ll have to see what I’m able to do.
