truepenny: artist's rendering of Sidneyia inexpectans (writerfox)
[personal profile] truepenny
That short story I was working on is now 3,000 words longer. And that explains why the 3k word version was so very dissatisfying. I'm printing it out now to do the editing (things really do look different on paper than they do on screen, sometimes frighteningly so). Then later this week I can send it out somewhere, plus the two 10k novellas that have come back in the last couple weeks.

Haven't gotten anything more done on the dis. It occurred to me that there's not much point working on it in a scattershot and panicky fashion when, once HL's done with it, I can sit down and work out a proper plan. I'm just digging myself into a deeper and deeper hole. So I've made a couple more notes for the conclusion, but otherwise basically left it alone. I am also not-so-secretly hoping that if I leave it lay a while, it will compost, and when I go back to it, everything will be clearer. Possibly this is a delusion, but it's a comforting one.
