Morpheus tales weren't impressed with my rural horror story so it's now on its way to Sanitarium...

collection all polished and shined so onwards and upwards. got a semi-traditional western half finished, re-writing a flash fiction crime piece after getting some editorial comments and a finished weird fiction piece that needs fattening up and revising (relatively subtle compared to my usual...)

Got some rewrites to do before I can start any new projects. I usually try to rush through these, but readying the zombie novel for Horrific Tales is my most important revision ever.

- Old Times subbed (fingers crossed) - Novel passed the 10k mark - haven't redrafted crime story but will soon (have a market, currently closed, in mind) - while having a marathon western watch a new title came to me so thinking on that too - trying to come up with something a bit different for 'the chip shop of horror' anthology

Writing not much, submitting even less, editing a bit but still not as much or as quickly as I should. I'm playing a bit of a long game right now, on three fronts. Football writing is my biggest mover as I'm doing a lot of work for Chester FC's programme and website - unpaid, but hopefully counting as bona-fide credentials should I apply for serious employment with a football mag.
T'other big thing is my stockpiling of qualifications. Having collected a Certificate of Higher Education and a Diploma in Humanities already, I've just graduated from the Open University with a 2:1 in English Lit. I start an MA in Creative and Critical Writing at Winchester University in September, and have already made plans to go on to a Creative Writing Doctorate there too. It opens up being a CW tutor as a career option, might help me land a job with a publishing house, and my pulpy prose could probably stand to be a tad more literary.
I haven't forgotten the actual writing, but I'm long overdue on a rewrite for Graeme Reynolds' Horrific Tales Publishing and I hope it's still welcome. He's got both Michael Bray's Whisper and Ken Goldman's Of A Feather to Number 1 in the Kindle Horror Chart, and I could go for a slice of that glory!
