Who Da Man?

[sinanju]

I da man! I've met my word quota for today. Yay! I'd say that I might write more later, but history for the last couple, three weeks suggests otherwise. But I made my quota for today, so that's okay too.

The story (working title* "Home Invasion") is looking more like something for Ellery Queen or Alfred Hitchcock's magazines than a science fiction market. And that's fine. I'm more than willing to sell to any market that will buy my stuff. SF, fantasy, mystery, thrillers, romance, erotica--whatever.

Which is good, because this "sit down and start writing, maybe with a title in mind and maybe not" approach means I never know what sort of story it'll be until it's under way.

*And by "working title" I mean a file name to save the story under once I've started typing words into my "New Story" manuscript template. Creating interesting and lyrical titles is not a skill I have. I can learn it, of course, but currently my stories all have very pedestrian titles.
