Spewed out a good 2700 words on the new story.  I originally wanted to call this “The Vampire of Brownsville,” but he’s not really from Brownsville anymore.  So I’m going to go with “The Wedding Game” for now.  I can tell this one is going to be long and will need a second or third pass to get the story perfect.  I’m discovering things as I write and that never makes for a clear, coherent story for me.  

My sleep schedule has been completely screwed lately.  I don’t seem to be able to stay awake when I get home from work and I can’t sleep at night.  It’s almost like my body just wants to take a series of short naps.  I’m no Edison, I can’t survive in my real life this way.  It seems to be pretty good for the writing though.  I have a feeling I could be a really fast writer if I could actually dedicate myself to it everyday. 

However, I think if I can stick to writing and sending a short story a week I’ll be where I want to be in a year.  All of these places where I have these little niggling doubts will get worked out. 

Practice makes pretty darn close to perfect, right?

So far this year I have:

2 stories in the mail

1 on the writing rack

3 in revision
