1. I just discovered that I qualify for an affiliate membership with the Horror Writers Association. Do I join HWA? I'm taking advice and opinions.

2. The Reverend is sleeping on my legs. I'm lying on my stomach and she's curled up in the crook of my knees. She is very warm.

3. I finished the requested rewrite and sent the story back to the editor.

4. In a rejection I received today, the editor pointed out that the piece read more like the beginning of a novel than a short story. I am concerned that it may morph into "Untitled Novel #6."

5. It's snowing. Seriously.

Most of my short stories seem to turn into novels, blast them! So I sympathize.

I wonder if it is simply because my focus is shifting away from short fiction and toward novels. Maybe I'm seeing novel possibilities where before I saw those same possibilities as short fiction?
