A funny thing happened this week while anxiously waiting for submission responses: I wrote a new story. It’s a quick one — only about 1,400 words that I wrote over the last day and a half — but it’s the third story I’ve completed in the last 4 weeks. This after not writing a lick of fiction in over a year. Even if they’re not especially good, I’m just glad to be getting them done.
The story, tentatively titled “Like a Lion” was inspired by an assignment I completed as part of the Gotham Writer’s Workshop, which I’ve been participating in during the last several weeks. I took the online course as a way to kickstart my writing again, to get me back on track, and it seems to be working.
I’ll give it some polishing over the next several days, and get it out on the market. And that’ll make 3 stories that I have out in submission land — the most ever for me. Yes, I’m one of those ‘wrtiers’ that doesn’t write very often, but I think that’s changing.
