"I love being a writer. What I can't stand is the paperwork" - Peter de Vries

Back to work I go! Managed my 1500 words on BLOOD HUNT today, and also had a short story accepted into Static Movement's Cedar Chest anthology. Not bad for a day's work, if I do say so myself. The story is one I wrote for my degree - "Howard Cavendish's Midweek Crisis" - and it's about a man who goes mad after his mother dies and hallucinates his cat is trying to kill him. Fun times!

Anyway, my brain is mush. So much so that it took me three attempts to spell "mush." So, I must away for sleep.

 
42524 / 70000 words. 61% done!

You're doing great on the word count! And congrats for the acceptance.

I'm totally addicted to those Static Movement Anthologies. lol. :)

It's terrible, isn't it? Once I'm done with Blood Hunt, I'll try a few new pieces, since all the ones I've submitted so far were old ones just sitting on my computer.
