The fact that I turned around and promptly sold it to Weird Tales does not change, or even ameliorate, the fact that it is the only story Iwrote successfully finished in 2007.*
I don't like this. It is not the plan.
Of course, now is not a good time to do anything about it, since hello, novel-with-deadline sitting around like a woolly mammoth in the living room. But I wish to register my displeasure with this state of affairs.
I already knew I don't like myself when I'm not writing. Apparently I can add to that the knowledge that I don't like myself when I'm not writing short stories.

It was much more like a very small novel . . . and okay, how I conceptualize the difference between "novel" and "short story" is something I apparently need to think about some more. But anyway, it's not that I forget that I wrote "Dexterity," it's that I forget to think of it as a short story.
