Dear Reader…
Welcome back to The Weekly!
Oh dear, my friends. We’re already two weeks into October, and I haven’t posted any short fiction yet! (gulp)
Will I meet my goal of 3-4 stories this month? Only time will tell. That said, I do have a piece of short fiction a-brewing this week. Hopefully it will be ready soon!
Until then, here’s a little round-up, an announcement of which September story will be heading into the Archive in December, and a new way for you to interact with me, if you’re so inclined.
Intrigued? Let’s get started!
Round-Up!
In Case You Missed It…
Goldgreen is rounding the home stretch!
In Episode Five: The Bear Hunt, Mr. Weaver reckons with his motives when the production films an episode requiring the use of a trained bear…
In Episode Six: The Woman, Penelope has her first experience on set, but learns that the story she’s re-enacting isn’t a new one, and may have an unusual origin…
September’s Archive Story
The votes are in!
Last week, I asked our fabulous Archive members to vote on which piece of September short fiction they would love to see enter the Archive at the end of the season. And the choice was unanimous!
They picked…drumroll please…
The Right Thing! In this short story, a delivery driver trying to put her life back together is given an unusual assignment and a set of firm rules. But can she follow the rules and still do the right thing?
Stories in the Archive are available only to our paid Archive members, but they’re also on the list for inclusion in an eventual print anthology! You still have until the end of November to enjoy The Right Thing before it heads behind the paywall, so feel free to read and enjoy!
Want To Work With Me?
Hanging out my freelancing shingle!
You may not know this, but for my “day job” I am a freelance copywriter, proofreader, and developmental editor! Up until now I’ve always kept this part of my work separate from Substack, but now that I’m trying to pull all of my professional writing under one umbrella, I’ve decided to go ahead and hang out my freelancer shingle for those who might be interested.
You can check out my rates and how to hire me at this post. And for future reference, you can always find the link to this page on the top navigation bar of both of my newsletters.
Unanimity, got to love it!
Good on ya girl, expand that exposure for what pays the bills! Continued good luck S.E.
