I’ve been thinking about Long-Distance Dedications, <\/em>what should be in, and what should be out.\u00a0 Reluctantly, I’ve decided that “Hackettstown” is going into the “out” pile.\u00a0 “…And Ye Shall Be Healed” is definitely going in, and I think that while the stories are definitely different, they’re similar enough that they shouldn’t be in the same volume.\u00a0 I will be including “Camp” in Long-Distance Dedications, <\/em>and then either put “Hackettstown” in another collection, or merge it with “Camp” to make the beginnings of a novel.<\/p>\n

I’m also anxiously awaiting my interview with Monica Brinkman.\u00a0 It should be fun.\u00a0 Tune in<\/a> to hear me talk about my writing, and to hear an excerpt from Dave Riggler’s Stories<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I’ve done more modifications to “Leaving the Union”.\u00a0 Basically, these are geographical changes.\u00a0 I also found a few awkward spots in the narrative that I’ve polished, though.\u00a0 Hopefully, it will be ready to go through the submission gauntlet soon.\u00a0 It’s a little bit of a challenge, because this story is much larger than other stories I’ve had published, but hopefully it’ll find a nice home. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
