My new WW2-era short story is drafted and off to its editor for feedback. Now I move on to preparing a new set of story pitches for a different editor. Because the work of a freelance writer never ends. It’s just homework every night for the rest of one’s life.

Added another 1,000 words to my WW2-era short story tonight. It’s coming along well, I think. A short sample:

“Eight tons of steel hit the ocean at a hundred miles per hour with a sound like thunder—but for Elias there was nothing but a flash of pain followed by fathomless black silence.”

Got about 635 words written and polished tonight in a new WW2-era short story, for an as-yet-unannounced anthology.

It’s off to a good start, I think. Looking forward to coming back to it tomorrow to continue it.

Miami-Dade County has hired 3 former 'Proud Boys' as poll workers. One of them faces 6 federal charges for storming the U.S. Capitol. The other one made a video wearing a “F**k Biden” baseball cap, saying, “You heard it right, I’m working the polls...Cry some more, liberals. ”
