The Amazing Expanding and Contracting Story has expanded yet again. I cut two hefty chunks of scene-age but apparently compensated elsewhere--the darn thing's 100 words longer now. Luckily, at 7,400 words, I think the rewrite's done now. Or at least I hope it's done now. I'm going to give that puppy a proofread tomorrow, and then it's out the door.
Once that's out the door, I have a story featuring the drunken ghost of Edgar Allen Poe that I need to finish by the end of the month. And then there's a gazillion other stories demanding attention. Unfortunately, productivity has been moving at slug-like speeds. I've been having far too many extended moments of staring at the computer thinking, "I have no talent, and I must scream."
On a completely unrelated note, I've been wanting a new Christmas tree topper for a while now. My dream has been to have a big flamey Eye of Sauron tree topper, a la Foxtrot. No such luck finding that, but I think I may have stumbled upon the next best thing: a Yoda lighted tree topper.
