Short Story Organization…

I Am Slowly Winning the Battle…

I think I have most of my short stories that I want to move into the future on my spreadsheet now. Maybe I will find another thirty or so, but for now I am happy. A whole bunch of stories are just dropping into deep storage. And at the moment I am not reprinting any of my early short sales that I sold to different markets because I wrote them on a typewriter and I see no reason to bother with them. (Yes, I know how to scan, but again, no point at this time.)

Only exception is my story that was in Writer’s of the Future Volume #1 back 42 years ago. They were kind enough to send me an electronic copy of that story. Not on my main spread sheet yet, but I will include it in a fantasy collection at some point this summer. Maybe even make it a title story. It stands up really well.

So at the moment working to redo and reformat the nonfiction books and get them out and do all the collections for the coming Kickstarter. This week I start into the Vellum learning curve. Done one already, now just want to pick up speed and learn more details. Should be fun.

But as of tonight I have 25 collections together with covers and all my stories organized that left at one point or another my writing computer. In a few weeks I will go through that writing computer which is where I will more than likely find a bunch more.

When all is said and done, I should have somewhere close to 50 collections with 10 stories each.

I think my creative brain might be satisfied enough with the progress I have made so far that I might join Kris’s Summer Challenge Seminar myself. But I will start very, very slowly.
