It’s almost here! In the US at least, May is National Short Story Month, and what better way to celebrate it than to write one? Last year I declared May to be Short Story Writing Month (ShoStoWriMo), kind of like a relaxed NaNoWriMo where you write a short story (between 1,000 and 10,000 words) in a week and then spend the rest of the month giving feedback to others who did the same and revising your story with help from their feedback.

Last year it went quite well, with a number of good stories coming out of it, and this year I’d like it to be even better, so you should go and sign up! It’s open to everyone and quite a bit of fun.

In other, more personal news, things have been going well here. I have a Horizon story that needs some work but that will probably be ready sometime in May, and a Broken Shores story that will be ready sometime after that. In any case, I’ll keep you up to date on everything as it happens.

I’ve continued to work on revising Caldera, and am happy to say that I’m almost there. In other news, you may have noticed that I’ve added a link to my goodreads profile and swapped out the list of stories for image thumbnails. Unfortunately, you can’t see all of the stories listed in the sidebar, but it looks better (in my opinion) and you can still get at everything from the stories page. In other news, I’ve also been working on the ShoStoWriMo site, and have switched over to bbPress, which appears to be a better fit. You can feel free to register whenever you want, now, no authorization from me required.

In the next week, I hope to finish up my revisions of Caldera, as well as doing a second draft of The Forked Path. In addition, I plan on resuming work on Soapbox (and finally getting everything back to its pre-crash state), although probably at a reduced frequency.

Last fall, due to spam, I took the ShoStoWriMo forum offline, with the intention of bringing it back in 2012. I had been putting it off (probably until March), but I’ve started to see people trying to go to the nonexistent forum to register. Since I lost a lot in the Hostocalypse I’ve had to restart from scratch, but the bones are up. Currently, registration is by admin approval only, but if you really want to get in, register an account and put a comment here (by clicking on the post title, this is on my to-fix list, I assure you).

In any case, I give you the 2012 Short Story Writing Month forum!

I realized that I didn’t like the idea of something being National, so I dropped it. In any case, it looks like I’ll actually be doing this, and maybe some other people will, too. If you’re interested, head over to shostowrimo.pawnstorm.net and get registered. I’ll try to keep everyone updated as I go.
