I wrote a flash fiction piece last week and have gotten it to the point where I'll want to send it to publications. I think it has a fair-to-good chance of publication.

While I was at it, I dug up an old flash nonfiction piece I'd written years ago and made a working draft out of it. I personally like it, but it's not like anything I've really seen get published in the flash nonfiction genre before, which could be good but most likely is a sign that it's not what editors are looking for. I'm gonna send it around because why not.

I'm also going to start sending "The Was" to publications this week. So yeah, I have a fun week ahead of me.

Still waiting to see how my latest query letter fares with the 3 agents I'm pending response from before I do anything with UTILITY.

I'm leaving "Predisposed" on the backburner for now, which is fine by me. The point of these goals wasn't to rigorously hold me to specific objectives; it's just to keep me constantly vigilant of where I am, so I can stay focused on moving forward. Seems pretty clear I'm taking forward steps; now I just have to hope these stories don't suck.
