Meeting with my editor went well today. Writing a new chapter for Book 2, and need to tweak a few things, but otherwise looking good developmentally. #WritingCommunity

Reasons why you should never, ever believe me if I tell you I'm working on a "short" story:
1) The plot bunnies keep having babies
2) You can pry my extravagantly vibrant descriptions from my cold, dead hands
3) My characters keep answering questions I never asked
4) 30k is short, right?
