New Year, Same Me

Welcome back to the Cluttered Desk! After taking a few weeks off from the blog, I’ve returned to my usual post schedule. This rest has been much needed, but I feel refreshed and ready to take on 2019!

Just because I’ve been away from the blog though, doesn’t mean I’ve been away from writing completely. I’ve made some progress on several short stories, which I think are coming along quite nicely. As someone who’s never been much good at writing short fiction, it feels good to have produced a few stories that aren’t horrible. Sometime after Deathless is complete, I’ll revisit these and polish them into a more finished state.

Speaking of Deathless, It’s time to get back to it. I’ve received valuable feedback from a few key Beta readers, (thank you, Betas!) and it’s time to write the third draft. I must say that I’m eager to get to work.

DISCLAIMER: I’m about to say something foolish:

This will be the last draft of Deathless before I decide what to do with it for the time being. When the third draft is complete, I’ll either decide that I need to move on, and put Deathless on the shelf indefinitely, or I’ll seek representation. There, I said it, and that’s all I’ll say on the subject until it’s done.

Happy New Year everyone! It’s gonna be a big one.

Later,

-Sal
