Geoff read my latest story and, in his words, “really liked it.” Exclamation mark!
The story: I had been thinking about a previous story I wrote about the Kawarthas and then, since it is summer time, wrote another story about the Kawarthas. I’m not too enamoured with the final result, which is likely a good thing since it’s the stories I have emotional attachments to that end up languishing unpublished. It’s longer than my normal short stories, about 6800 words. So maybe I’ll eventually get to novel length someday if each story I write is slightly longer than the last.
I say there’s a chapter two here; Geoff says stop. So we’ll see.
Off to proof-reading and endless submissions until this story finds a home.
