Friday Reading and Writing

CLOSE TO FINISHING A BOOK…

Managed to get to my writing computer at 3 a.m. tonight. I did two sessions for a total of 2,300 words before 4:30 a.m. with a short break in the middle. I think I finally see the ending on this. So with luck I’ll stumble across the ending this weekend.

Then as I said last night, I can put two issues of Smith’s Monthly together, then finish a third novel that is almost done and put a third issue together. All that shouldn’t take more than a week.

With each issue I’ll post the blurbs for the stories with the covers, because I have to write the blurbs anyway.

Also tonight I did a lot of reading for the short story challenge. I had gotten a little behind on the stories from May, but getting closer to that and now the June challenge stories are coming in. I’m enjoying the reading.

And I did some reading for Pulphouse, pulling that first year together so I can get back in touch with all the writers. I wanted to have that done in April. Well, only missed by two months. (grin)
