I’m not sure this blog currently needs an update since there hasn’t been much happening that would be of interest to anyone.

But I need to keep my writing streak up, and a blog post will do that. I’ve written a minimum of one hundred words a day every day so far this year. I’m going to try to keep that up next week at Robert E. Howard Days. I’ll post an update after its over.

The current story I started writing, which is a short story assignment for a mentorship I’m involved in, is going to be put on hold. It’s not going to be a short story. A novella or novel. So that’s not something I want to work on tonight. I’m too tired for that level of focus.

Summer classes have started. I’m teaching both five week terms this summer. Today was the end of the second week of the first term. My students will be having their first emotional experience, I mean their first exam, on Monday.

This weekend will be (more) yard work, plus as much wriitng and reading as I can get in. It won’t be enough, but it will be more than I get in on weekdays.

I have no major plans for travel or much of anything else after Howard Days. there’ll be a short break before fall classes start.

I’m hoping to publish some collections, a couple of novellas, and at least one novel byt the end of the year. I’m trying to learn Vellum for that. The collections will be at least one mystery/crime collection and probably a fantasy. I really need to organize my inventory. I’m not going to set any deadlines since I’ll probably end up missing them. I’ll post announcements here as things come together and I pull the trigger.

What’s up with ya’ll?
