I've just finished a story -- a real story, the first in a couple of years at least, and I'm supposed to wait a couple weeks, then go back and revise the story. At least that's what I've advised everyone else. But the very idea of this makes me really antsy.

I'll probably wind up waiting a few days instead. I do have a certain justification. This took an unduely long time to write for a short story -- usual for me -- and meanwhile, I went back and revised earlier writing. And to think, this story began as a prank.

The story is just long enough to have sadly crossed over into a novelette. I might be able to cut enough to bring it down under the limit; we'll see.

On a different note, my opening salvo to "A Bikini Beach Summer" has surpassed 100 kudos!
