Poem - "Civil War"

Tonight I submitted a poem, "Civil War," to 'A Quiet Courage.' It is a non-paying market, but I thought the poem might work well for it.

Update on 'Last Dance'

I didn't add any words to "Last Dance" tonight. Instead, I worked on the outline. I need to do still more work on the outline. *sigh*

Hm! This would be an interesting place to submit my current finished first draft to:

Working on "Weight"

Well, I've written the ending of "Weight." Now I have to go back and finish the climax. Working on the revised outline was a definite help. The current running word count for "Weight" is 4779 words.

EDIT:  "Weigh" is now at 5841 words.

Update on "Weight"

Total words for "Weight," so far: 4537.

I was going to use a crossbow and a carriage in this story and then realized that neither would work in a scene dependent on speed.

This means the story is now off the rails, as far as the planned outline goes. So I'll have to spend some time rethinking and revising the outline. Lovely.

Progress on "Weight"

"Weight" is now at 4048 words, and I am in the home stretch. It should come in at just around 5000 words. I will submit it to Sword & Sorceress after it's had a few days to rest.  That makes it sound like a cake, but it's the same principle.
