Summary
So I think I worked too much yesterday. I got up a little late, and made it to writing at 6:30 a.m., but couldn’t get anything going. I started several stories but I was either heading into already covered territory, or bored, or clear it would be a long story. So I gave it until 7 and switch to my day job.
At lunch I finally got an idea that drew me in and started another ghost story, “Death by Apathy.” Â Finished it in the evening and it’s 3,300 words. Read it to Aleia.
Took another pass on #23, “One Last Trick.” And out it goes to Dean.
Finally got the time to send #2, “Daisy’s Heart,” out to market.
