Works-in-progress


Always sounds a bit pretentious, but looks better than 'foolish-ideas-that-might-or-might-not-be-worth-anything-at-some-point-in-the-future'. I probably won't post that much here. This doesn't mean I'm not working on anything, but, you know, you have to be ready to show people a W-I-P. You usually know when you can.

I'll be putting short stories here, maybe, or parts from novels that I'm unsure about, or even those I am sure about, if I'm feeling smug... I'm relatively sure I won't be - I'm usually convinced that a lot of the things I write are crap until they reach some magical stage - third, fourth draft - when I think they're wonderful. Then I have to get over that after a month, and do extensive edits, savage cutting of all the bits I really like, and am left with something I can work with... I hope.
