In the wake of my fabulous success finishing the short story I'd been working on for HALF A YEAR and submitting it to a magazine, I've decided to set myself a goal: 8000 words a month of fiction, freewriting, brainstorming, revising, et cetera, even when I'm not working on a novel (or even if it's not work on the novel that I'm working on.)

I've been going too long feeling like short stories don't pay real money and I'm bad at writing them, and both may be true, but it would at least help to combat the feeling that I'm getting absolutely nothing done in my writing!
