I stopped doing the writing progress updates because...well, I found them boring. Maybe not necessarily boring to me, but they didn't seem to have any real entertainment value. I will continue doing writing updates, but less frequently, and only when there is something more significant than word counts to discuss.
I also stopped doing the Friday short-story updates because it was becoming the creepy Friday "I Love Dean Koontzypoo" update. But I do like discussing what I've been reading, so I will continue to do so soon, only this time I'll discuss everything I read, from short stories to blogs to novels to bathroom stall walls.
Anyway, I've had a bit of success with some stories lately. At least beyond flat out rejections. Nothing to report yet. But soon. I hope.
The bigger news is that issue #2 of Shock Totem is out and availble.
You can order it here. Issue #2 is a different sort of animal from issue #1. This one is a bit more fantastical and...odd, surreal. Still dark, of course, but a different kind of darkness. You'll dig it.
Tomorrow I'm heading down to Necon until Sunday. Then it's up to Maine until the 26th. A vacation long overdue. I hope to get a lot of writing and fishing done.
And with that, I'm out. Take care, kids!

Great to hear you've had some success with shorts lately, Ken!
And looking forward to picking up issue 2, man!

Enjoy your trip Ken!
And keep up with your short stories! Not flat are rejections are always a step up :D
Can't wait to get issue #2!
Happy writing
