I call my blog Monday because quite frankly I can’t think of anything else to call it.
I got in some good work on the novel over the weekend but as is the way, as soon as I get comfortably buried in editing, ideas for short stories start stomping around in my head. And yesterday I was at an inner city gallery to see a photography exhibit and I got a great idea from one of the photos. All I’ve done though is make notes. They’ll have to wait because apart from the short story for the Festive Fear Anthology (which is now titled The Little Drummer Girl) and finding homes for The Pennyroyal and The Death Blossoms, I’m concentrating on the novel.
I’ve entered Desolation and The Baited Psychopath in the AHWA Flash and Short Story Comps respectively so they’re done and out of the way.
Oh, and I got my copy of Phantasy Moste Grotesk by Felicity Dowker on Friday. I started it last night and it’s spectacularly creepy.

Those darn short stories pop up everywhere.
Glad you're enjoying the chapbook, Danielle!
sounds like you had a good weekend.
Short stories are the dandelions of a writer's brain.
And Monday is the perfect title for any Monday post.
Monday.
Thanks guys. Oh, and last night I worked on a short story. It finally took over :) I must say though that I think, and some of my writer friends feel the same, that the short stories have helped me write much tighter and basically helped me improve overall.
Felicity, I finished the book last night and I loved it. You sucked me right in and held me there to the end.
Best of luck in the AHWA comps. Sounds like you've had a much better time writing than I have lately - good for you.
BT, only because your blogs have been inspiring me to work harder :)
