It’s done! I finished Camp NaNoWriMo strong, achieving my goal of 30,000 words. Didn’t finish the last story, but it’s going quite strong, and probably past the halfway point. I’ll probably finish the rough draft next month and send it to my writing group.

Good stuff! I’ve definitely broken out of whatever creative block was holding me back before, and hopefully can use this momentum to press forward and finish The Stars of Redemption next month. When I’m not doing that, I’ll be revising and polishing these stories, and probably sending them out on submission. No idea if any of the traditional markets will pick them up, but either way, I’ll be putting them out myself before too long. After all, that was my secondary goal: to produce enough short stories to be able to self-publish something new every month for the forseeable future.

Thanks for reading!
