[Writing] Finding My Footing

It’s Week 2 of the New Chapter.

Been a little slower than I thought it would be. But…as my therapist always tells me, I’m being gentle with myself. Or at least trying to.

It’s kind of like rearranging a room, you make a bigger mess/chaos before it all gets back into order. I’m in the giant mess portion of my adjustments.

Today, I dug out my old submission spreadsheets – which are WOEFULLY out of date. But also found stories that I’d finished but never sold – at least, I don’t think they did? Records got muddled, but some I know did not. I’d found a print out of one of them and did a quick clean up. Starting the submission process for that one now. I have a few others printed to just read through first – just read – THEN edit. Then try again.

So that means I have 2 stories out, which is more than I’ve had in the past. It’s been a long time since I’ve done spec short fiction work – hence the low hanging fruit first.

I’m working on some other projects, too, both long and short.

It’s a start.
