So, here is the look at things from 2009 that are specifically writing related.
Two acceptances carried over from 2008, The Legless Ones in The Black Garden Anthology, and It Never Lasts Forever in 52 Stitches ‘zine AND Anthology.
I did not finish any of the novels in progress.
I wrote 7 new shorts, and perhaps some day I’ll fix ‘em up and get ‘em into circulation.
I’ve lost count of the reviews, interviews, and other non-fiction stuff I wrote this year. I was going to re-tally, but I don’t know. The troubles …

2009 had amazing ups and downs for me, like a giant roller-coaster. I know it was like that for many others in the publishing world as well, from writers to editors right down to the very publishers themselves.
