Spoke too soon and 2024 writing stats

I sold another story this week, “Never Leave the House Without Your Purse,” to Sudden Fictions. (TW for domestic violence) It should drop on December 28, 2024, making it my seventh appearance on the podcast this year. Yowza!

That, combined with the much-much-delayed extension of my DayJob contract, might be seen as a bona fide Holiday Miracle. So without further ado, I present my Year in the Word Mines, 2024 edition. (And no, I don’t track my daily/weekly/monthly word count. Such things feed my Anxiety Weasels.)

Sales: 9 new and 2 reprints

Stories completed: 18 (okay, one was a Drabble contest, but still)

Submissions: 75

Next up, the Eligibility Post.

A last dip in the ocean for 2024

It’s always lovely to see my words in (virtual) print again. If you missed it the first time out, here’s your chance to read, “Come the Waters High.”

Given the usual backlog/delays in publishing, I suspect this will be my last fiction for the year. (Sad trombone emoji?)

There are other cool stories over at Stupefying Stories, too. Check ’em out!

Coming soon – my year in fiction.
