I managed to finish another short story over the last few days, and with that done, it’s time to get back to the novels! I guess that’s the nice thing about short stories… they don’t take nearly as long to take from idea-to-complete. Usually one or two editorial passes, sometimes a beta reader or two, and then boom, done.
This one is another White Noise short story (although not an episode of the Black Cacophony, which I will work on after I finish the next novel while waiting for it to get edited). Not as much action, a little more thoughtful, but that’s okay. Most of the stuff I have been reading has been heavier on the thoughtful, lower on the action, and so it makes sense that it’s the kind of story in my head at the moment.
Anyway, other than that not a lot to report. I’ve gotten back to biking (indoors, obviously, with everything going on) and that’s been a really fun way to exercise except my butt is killing me. I was not meant to sit on a bike for an hour or two a day. But I’ll get through this, and hopefully it gets less painful as time goes on. I’m going to keep track of how “far” I bike, factoring on 20km/h, and then when all this is done we’ll see how “far” I got!
Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!
