Shuffle and Flash Mob

I retouched "The Shuffle" and finished "Flash Mob." Both are in the 2,000 to 2,500 word range. I'm happy with both of them. I just read about the National Novel Writing Month, and I might participate. I just might throw everything I've written for Xenic Route and start over.

Well, I was planning on doing that anyway. I am treating all of the writing that I've done for the past several years as a pretext to this moment, when I'm making an effort.

The Wordos are part of that effort. I met several people, but I'm still catching up on the names. Jay Lake was there, as well as Jerry and Kathy Oltion. It was a reading night for the Wordos and we listened to somewhere around 30 stories on cults. It was a great night. I found myself tuning out as words for my own cult story started forming in my head. I haven't written it down yet.

I've put the Shuffle and Flash Mob on my lit.org site.
