I mean it. I love writing. I love creating new things out of the weird, misty recesses of my mind. I love crafting stories that people enjoy.

I don’t love everything about my job, of course. There’s a lot of work that goes into creating the stories, and a lot of not-writing that is involved in writing. These days a fair amount of that is marketing, and I really don’t like marketing. I don’t have the mind for it.

But writing? Oh yeah, I love writing.

So it’s good that right now one of my priorities is to do a whole lot more of that. I want to get two short stories done by this weekend (at least the first draft of both). One is about half done, the other I haven’t started yet, but the nice thing about short stories is that they are, by definition… short. So I should be able to handle the first draft pretty quick.

Editing them will be a pain in the butt, as short fiction is always harder to focus, but that’s a challenge I enjoy as well. But first… we write!

Hope everyone out there is staying safe and healthy!
