I love that feeling of typing the ending. This is the eighth story I've written this year. I'm considering some kind of celebration once I reach ten.
This story ended up just over 3,200 words. It's about a boy who wakes up in the middle of the night to find monsters attacking his house, but all is not as it seems.
So yay, and already on to the next one. I'm hoping to finish that one before I get around to rewrites for my novel 'truth seeker'. We'll see how that goes.

My second publication

And our winner is:
Monster. This short sits at around 3.5k words and I'm going to try and polish it up and get it ready to publish by the end of June. This will be my second short published. It contains vampires, werewolves and really more nasty creatures than I've ever put in a short story before.
So far feedback says I'm off to a good start, but it still needs major editing to make it shine. So as soon as my first draft of my novella epidemic is done I'll make a start on those edits.
Next deadline for this: 2nd of June. By this time I want to have an edited version to get feedback on. This is going to be a push since I start a new job next week, and I have like a million other things to do, but I'm going to try my darndest.
