Not a good day today. I think I had a minor panic attack yesterday, due to an ongoing plumbing problem in the house, and the baby didn’t let us sleep much last night so I’ve basically been a zombie all day. Finished a flash fiction piece I started yesterday and started the new Mythulu story, and after struggling with the opening for about an hour, it’s starting to show some promise.
Regardless of whether I actually win nanowrimo this year (I still intend to push for that, though with how far I’m behind it’s looking rather iffy), I’m really happy with the fact that I’m producing a lot of new stories. They all probably need to be cleaned up substantially before I should submit them, but that’s not too hard, and I really need to build up my submissions queue again.
Even better, I’m developing a new method for generating these stories, and having a lot of fun doing it. One of my goals is to write at least one new short story every month, and these Mythulu cards are a great tool for both generating and refining my ideas.
