I’m not sure I quite understand how we’re already nearly in the fifth month of 2024. I don’t know where this year has gone thus far, but I do know that I have done a lot of writing, which is lovely. This includes finishing the Final Rewrite™ of the final, really, really final draft of the novel. I have a number of comments and inline notes to address, and then that’s it. It’s done.
This is a terrifying prospect.
It has been mine and only mine since I first started writing it in 2019. One day soon, that might change. I say it again: terrifying.
In less terrifying news, I have a new publication to share!
My flash fiction “Clack Clack Clack” was released yesterday by the wonderful Maudlin House.
In this story, you will find: strained mother–daughter relationships, a completely normal typewriter, and a haunting. Maybe.
As is customary, a snippet…
In Etta’s wardrobe there is a typewriter. She can hear the clack clack clack ping! while she tries to sleep. In her dreams, its ribbons coil her up and smudge her skin midnight blue with ink—Mother always had preferred that colour.
