April was definitely a reading month, rather than a writing month – apart from the pending publication of my Florian Neame story, there has been little to report in terms of my own writing, beyond receiving one rejection and one revise and resubmit request. The revise/resubmit story, Blackberry Picking, was accordingly rewritten (it now sits at a meaty 4750 words) and sent off. It’s acquired some mild influence from C.S. Lewis’ Till We Have Faces.
No further updates on the fate of Old Phuul either.
