Last Tuesday night I finally finished "Sweet Nathaniel's Eyes"! The official title of the story is "Witness". It has 5,738 words. That's the first draft. Sometime I'll come back to it and do some editing/revising. When this story is ready to be read, I hope the ending will be a comfort and an encouragement to readers.
The next story I'm working on is "The Whole Truth". I basically have re-started this story. I deleted what I had already written, and then I dropped in four or five scenes that I wrote several years ago. Those old scenes were written back when I was trying to write a novel. "The Whole Truth" is now approximately 1/3rd written. I would like to finish this story by the end of June.
Me write novels? Uh, no thank you. I'll stick with short/long stories, thank you. Seriously, I've noticed that my stories tend to be around 3,000 - 4,000 words. Sometimes they're longer and sometimes they're shorter.
Previously I have mentioned my story collections "Dawn Comes Softly" and "A Light Shines In The Darkness". I've decided to combine them into the same book. The book will be called "A Light Shines In the Darkness". It will have four sections of stories in it. "Dawn Comes Softly" will be one of the sections. "Witness" and "The Whole Truth" are two of the stories that will be in this book.
