Writing Year in Review

In the usual fashion, I’m starting off my planning for 2012 by looking back at 2011. It was a good year, writing-wise.

The most notable point is that I made my first two fiction sales: “The Demon’s Tomb” came out in volume 2 of The Crimson Pact in August, and “A Talent for Death” is in the current issue of Shelter of Daylight.

I finished several short stories this year. My goal was four, plus any interesting anthologies that turned up, so I ended up writing seven. Which surprises me, now that I add them all up, because it seems like a lot. In fact, it’s half of the short stories I’ve written ever. Which makes it completely unsurprising that I blew my previous annual number of submissions out of the water.

Novel-wise, I finished the first draft of one book, and I’m just about done with a revision of another book. I’m also finishing up the planning stages of my next book and itching to start writing.
