I think my first thought yesterday was where did January go? It seems like five minutes ago we were celebrating the New Year, and now here we are in February.

On the writing front I finished six short stories, and submitted three. The others are destined for collections I’m working on. The seventh should have been finished on Monday, but a quick trip out for pizza ended up being much longer than planned for many reasons not relevant here.

January did end up being the most words I’ve written in the month since I began tracking my word count, so many positives there, and a good foundation for February.

As a follow up from my last post, Quiller Balalaika arrived today, and I immediately dived into the first chapter as soon as it was unwrapped.

I’m about 1,500 words from the end of that seventh story, so I’m off to finish it, with the reward of Quiller when I’m done. It could be a late night!
