I wrote about 500 words last night on "Bat Country"

I also added more to the scene with the first vampire and the kittens...

I think I broke a mental block of some sort. Maybe as I made progress on my personal life, I felt more free in my writing.

My wife is very supportive.

At the moment, I seem to be enjoying short stories and novella writing.

I think I after "Bat Country" that I am going to turn the first part of the story for "Abigail's Dragon" into a novella. A number of different writers have turned novellas into full fledged novels. I think it's a good way to get your name out there and it looks like a ton of small press publishers publish chapbooks.

I don't think I am ready for a novel, although Abigail's Dragon would certainly be it.

I also think I can go for a novella with the Highway West. [Both the last version and the Five version.]

I want to have a decent list of new publication credits before taking a novel.

I also have a novel I wrote in high school, with a fairly creative idea that I think I can reuse as a short story or two.

First, those pictures with babies inside of flower pots will never be funny again.

Second, this is sooo going to be a story or image.
