Because I’m coming to better understand the whole “below/above the fold” dichotomy that exists within sites like this one, I will start by saying that you can read one of my short stories, titled Four Homeruns, by clicking this linkey link. It is a story that had, at one time, another home on the interwebz, but since that home has since become deserted I figured, what the hell. At this point, my intent is to just post the short stories as I finish them. I’ve got a few others I’m tinkering with in between working on the book but they are more a way to cleanse the brain palate (so to speak) in the midst of the bigger “meal” that is finishing the novel.
And since we’re talking about said novel…
The word count is a bit disingenuous. That is the current word count but it includes a bit of place holder text. For ease, we’ll just say I am in the 40k range, which is true. So, depending on where this all shakes out at the end, I am somewhere between 20 and 25% percent finished with the final draft, not including copy edits. I’d say progress is, ahem, progressing glacially but that seems discourteous to the movement of the glaciers.
