Finished the first draft of... um, this thing I'm working on. Which definitely isn't a short story, at almost 12,000 words, but I don't think really deserves to be a novelette... it's not a novelette-sized plot. I think it must have a lot of stuff that can be removed. But it isn't really meant to be an independent story anyway, it's meant to be a chapter of a novel, or to be more accurate a story in a book that's a collection of stories about the same characters. (This is all new to me and I'm still figuring it out.) It's probably too long for a chapter anyway. I'll see what I can do about editing it today.
I don't think this is the first story/chapter in the book, either. Nor do I have even a vague idea what I'm going to write next. Whee!
Also: celebrated the Endeavour Award win by buying myself a new MacBook Pro. Shiny! I now have an iBook G4, in great shape, for sale at a reasonable price.
