Meanwhile I wrote and submitted my short story for the UK Meet anthology, and then realised where I was going wrong with my other story. It didn't want to be a flashfic, but one of the characters in it was quite happy to tell a related story that definitely fits the word count. I finally got that transcribed from paper to computer today and will tidy it up tomorrow.
Also today I wrote up the nonfiction piece that's been percolating in my brain ever since I was asked for my editorial input on someone else's article back in February.
Next month there'll be more work on ...Julia, and I'll attempt to flesh out the short story that didn't want to be a flashfic into something I can submit to the BBC's short story competition.
