My e-short story, “Mom’s Letter“, has sold one copy since I listed it not quite two weeks ago. Yea! That sale was to someone I know, a former colleague in the poetry wars on Poem Kingdom, years ago when we were moderators together there. Poppy also wrote a nice review for it, an honest review, not a fake one. I’m grateful for that.

Due to having been away from home for an engineering conference, combined with a little vacation, I haven’t been able to do anything to create a buzz for the story, except for one post here, one on the Suite writer forums, and one post at Facebook. I need to get to a few other places and do some posts. A few more sales would be nice.

On this trip I’ve managed to write one chapter for Documenting America. The document I reviewed has also given me fodder for at least one more chapter, maybe two if I want to. Once I type that chapter in I should be at 28,000 words. So that’s edging ever closer, and publishing it before the end of March is possible, though possibly rushing it.

The sun is shining. I’m on vacation, and by the view through the windows it appears a gentle breeze is blowing. I should be outside, walking the campus or sitting by the pool, reading. Perhaps I will. I’ll set this to publish tomorrow, actually, and fool all my readers (all ten or so of you) as to my whereabouts.
