I ummed and ahhed a bit about February’s workload and whether or not to include some new short stories. I knew I was already committed to one (12 stories in 12 months), but could I realistically manage many more than that?
In the end, I decided I could write another 2 entire stories, revise a third, and start a new one, the new one a novella.
So with that all sorted, deadlines and all, and with existing jobs already in the diary, here’s how February is looking today.
