Works In Progress
Referencing my blog post from December 6th, 2019 where I described in very rough level detail my plans for the next few months for my writing and listed the number of incomplete works I currently have, there used to be a complete list of those things at all lengths here. That’s too much work to maintain, so I’m pulling everything but novels back to just numbers.
what you’ll find on this page is the list of those things, stories of various lengths that are at least 1st draft complete but not yet what I consider final draft or ready for other eyes. I’m going to work bottom-up in each length classification from “the basic rough plot is done” to “just needs that final read aloud pass”.
Flash Fiction: less than 1500 words
Short Fiction 1500 to 7500
Novelette: 7500 to 17,500 words
Novella/Short Novel 17,500 to 40,000 words
Novel: more than 40,000 words.
I will try to keep this list as up-to-date as possible, but if I’m honest with myself, I’m going to regularly forget this page is here and then do a bunch of updates all at once.
For the individual stories, the line will look like:
