The Story Is Written! It Is! It Is!

No amount of dawdling kept me from writing the sample Shade Of The Moon short story. And believe, me, I'm top notch at dawdling.

It's an Alex story and it takes place a few months after the end of This World We Live In, and it would be nice if it had a title, but currently it doesn't. I'll polish it on Monday and send it off, and maybe before I do, a title will come to me. Something better than Alex Story.

Then again, almost anything would be better than Alex Story. That's a label, not a title.

I know you won't be shocked to hear I love the story. If you know me, you know I love everything I write, at least for the first ten minutes after I've finished. But this one I'm going to still love on Monday.

After that, it's up to my editor and publisher to see if they love it like I do!

Hello to Lisa Mandina and Abigail and Another Far Better Susan-

Once I began writing, I really had a good time with it. It's fun to get back into Alex's brain.

We'll see if my publisher thinks it's fun also (in a neverending sorrow kind of way!).

'fourth' ... derp I blame the beer and friday night.

Love how excited you sound! I'll keep my fingers crossed but am betting you won't need any luck! An Alex story feels perfectly right after Julie dying and how she died.

Susan Beth Pfeffer said...

Good morning Fear Death By Water and Linda Jacobs-

Well, you never know how publishers are going to feel about things, and short story anthologies are a tough sell.

Let's hope everyone there who reads it is in a beer and Friday night mood!
