Writing update
Yesterday was a good day-- heard from my agent arcaedia that she likes the new project. And I managed to finish off a short story, my third attempt at the short format this summer. Not quite sure what I'll do with it, but it was an interesting exercise.
Although the short story would serve as a springboard for an entire novel, so I didn't stray too far from my roots. I suspect that if I'd been a student at Odyssey this summer, rather than writing a dozen short stories I would have produced the openings to a dozen different novels :-)
Now it's Saturday, the rain is pouring down so biking is off the agenda (although frequent trips to check the basement for water are now on the agenda, thanks to the memories of the 2006 floods.) Not quite sure what I'll do with myself, but I'm sure I'll figure something out.
