A Few Very Productive Weeks / Happenings In The Outhouse 17-Oct-2025

At first, I was going to name this post: A Few Very Busy Weeks.  Then, I realized what I named the last week's post and, based on its contents, it was decided that I should name it A Few Very Productive Weeks instead.

Good call, Mark.

Over the past month or so, I have taken a few online writing courses taught by a husband and wife who have each been in the writing and publishing industry over 50 years learning and honing their craft.  Not only am I learning a lot from them, the courses are pushing me to complete a short story in less than a week.  The next round of weekly classes typically drop Tuesdays and story assignments are due on Sunday night--and classes usually run for three weeks.  However, if I have my weekends already blocked off for something else, I have to finish them sooner.

Not only that, there are monthly story submissions (and that doesn't even include the quarterly story submission for Writers of the Future).  So that means I am writing A LOT of stories.

Also, on top of that, I am in the process of publishing many of the previously submitted stories.  One of them is out now.  Here is the link to the ebook on Amazon but it is out on other online platforms too.

More to come . . .
