Very exciting. New short story I started today, after reading John Cheever's very good--and very strange--"Torch Song." Give it a read.
I have no idea why reading Cheever's work compels me to start a short story that only just barely, maybe, resembles something of his. This is the third time; the other two--non-genre pieces--have sold. (Knock on wood.) Anyway, one does not question what stirs awake the Muse. Or tunes in to my antenna. Or whatever.
You take it and you run with it.
I ran with it.
Short story, tentatively named "Tito's." 2,179 words.
That's over 2,500 words in the past 24 hours.
If only that could always be the way.
But...why can't it?
