The WAL

So my short, 50k word Superhero novel is on track to finish the first draft at 57-60k.  Not surprising, I suppose.  The good news is that this afternoon, I was two scenes from being caught up to where I’d plotted to with only a nebulous idea of how to reach the planned ending from there.  Built about half the bridge and I think I can flesh out the rest tomorrow without too much difficulty.

On other fronts, no word yet on any of the stories out looking for homes.  I’ve got a couple of stories with first readers looking for issues, but nothing quite ready to go.  Two others with a third draft in progress and still other things in the pipe.  Starting to wonder if this is taking too much of my time, but I’ve got too many stories I need to get out of my skull and can’t really slow down.  The goal is fifteen submissions by the end of the year.  Wish me luck.
