Been away for awhile; just returned from Baltimore to see the Patriots play the Ravens.  Patriots, 41-7.

But before I left, I completely refurbished a short story, and I love how it is now.  I've been struggling with it, in its many guises, for about two years.  And now it's done.  Just didn't have time to blog about it here before I left.

One completed short story finished, a few days ago.

1,800 words.  Sending it out tomorrow.

Well, again, it's been a little while.  Tough time of the year to write consistently.  Still not feeling great, and job situation now hopefully resolved.

Am I expecting the impossible, or shouldn't I be able to write consistently every day?  I feel very guilty and almost ashamed when I don't.  Which doesn't help when I try to sit down and write next time...

When I finally sit down and get going, there's rarely a problem.
