mmerriamI think I'll be focused on short fiction for the rest of the year, with time set aside to do rewrites on Dark Water Blues. So far this year I've completely rewritten one novel, finished another in first draft, and written about 24,000 words on a third novel that I might pick back up later. Add in a novella and a couple of novelettes, and I think I'm ready to focus on some shorter stuff.
Really, it's not like I don't have a whole gaggle of possible short pieces waiting their turn. I'm especially keen to work on "Fourth Dimensional Pony in the Concourse of the Lost" and "Zombies for Christ!" I have several other strong contenders once I'm done with those, including a science fiction murder-mystery, a space opera ghost story, and a steampunk paranormal romance.
I occurs to me it is October, which means I should be engaged in my annual reading/listening of Roger Zelazny's "A Night in the Lonesome October."
In other news, I've had Charles Trenet singing "Le Mer" in my head pretty much all day. I don't know why.
