New Year, New Me?

Some people are hitting this new year with proclamations of New Year, New Me. Me? Oh I’m going to keep writing stories for other people. I’m going to get back into publishing my own stories. I’m playing games with friends. I’m going to do all the things I did last year, but better. I’m going to be the same guy I was, only more so. This ain’t a new me. This year I’m shooting to be me on steroids. Which considering that’s what asthma medication is, sorta makes sense. If you want to be part of that, welcome to the ride. If not, time to find another train, cause I’m rolling. Happy New Years.

It’s New Years Eve, and that means a new year is coming. And that means New Year Resolutions for all of us who want to turn over a new leaf and be better people. I’m sad to disappoint all of you, but I promise to try to be the same kinda a guy I was last year. You’re stuck with the real me, like it or not.

The Day The Sky Fell

I just wrote and submitted what is I do believe the first young adult story I’ve ever written. It was a fun one. Shorter than most of my short stories, but it came in, did its thing, and stepped back out at a good spot. I rather liked it. Imagine the only sky you’ve ever known all your life falling down and burying you. What do you do next? If it doesn’t get picked up, it will definitely show up in a collection of my short stories.

My Cup Runneth Over

I just learned that Raconteur has picked up another of my stories for publication around the end of January. My Cup Runneth Over will be in the Brim to the Dregs anthology, and basically completes a multi-short story metastory started in Goblin Market and continued in Coffee Adventures. A fourth story in this micro-series hasn’t been picked up by anybody, but will be included when I publish a collection of my short stories after the rights to publish this return to me. So just over a year from now. Along with whatever other short stories I want to add to the collection. I’m all about equal opportunities doncha know?
