October Progress Report

So, on the one hand, I'm statistically falling even further behind. On the other, I think I've stumbled back into a productive groove, doing a significant amount of creative writing early weekend mornings, bulking up Games of Chance with transcribing a fair amount of the handwritten copy I wrote during the summer.

I also managed to edit and upload the short story "Psychic Hearts" - while not technically part of my Twilight of the Idles quartet, it is set in the same late 1990s Calgary and would probably be best packaged with them.

Short Stories:
"Of Light and Darkness" - in revision*
* this is part of my Twilight of the Idle short story series along with"Labellypock", "A Night on the Fronde" and "Out of Time (Ped Xing)"
"How My Uncle Faught The Spanish Civil War" - 1000 words
"Il Brute" - 700 words, a short story about living in Bridgeland

Novel Ideas (and working titles):
A Saturday Afternoon By The Slurpee Machine - 2100 words, growing up in NE Calgary, circa 1990
Games of Chance - 14590 words, quasi-related to the current economic downturn
The Last Days of the Daily Wenzel - 8150 words
Father Borsato di Sangi - notes only, about a priest in small town Alberta, circa 1910,
