Hey Folks,
Well, I got a late start this morning. Just kind of a blah day. I almost called this a day off, after which I would have spent the day doing nothing.
I finally made it to the novel at around 9:30. In the first session, I got right at 1000 words. About a third of that was to finish correcting the problem held over from yesterday.
So the novel’s tracking right along again now. Then up to the house for a break and to write this stuff.

One of my short story collections is part of a new bundle, SHORT FLIGHTS (OF THE IMAGINATION).
The collection in that one is S,F&H (for science fiction, fantasy and horror). You can read about the bundle at http://harveystanbrough.com/bundles/.
Additionally, the curator posted an interview with me on her website. I’ve listed it in the “Of Interest” section below.
Okay, back to the novel for awhile.

From Dashiell Hammett, via The Passive Guy: “It’s sometimes better to pretend I don’t hear the sound of somebody in the nearby woods with a shotgun.”

Got two more good sessions today. The novel is running. I’m a fortunate feller.
See you tomorrow.
