So I've finished draft 1 of the story I talked about last time. It's about 7,000 words long, which places it securely in the "short story" realm. Unfortunately, I'm not sure just yet about whether or not I want to publish the story. It's of a very sensitive nature and I don't know a) how it will be received or b) how I will be viewed for writing it in the first place.

As I go through and work on the second draft I might post some snippets here. To send it in for the Writers of the Future contest, though, my snippets must be very short or they might disqualify the story.

Stay tuned and I'll let you know.
