There must be at least five stories or more on my laptop that are more or less passable and could be good with a decent edit. My goal by the end of the day is to have an extra five submissions out there. I'll be posting the list here as I go.
Edit: Alright, found five I'd like to work on today. Finished editing #1 earlier. Now begins the rush to get these all prettied up and out the door.
1: Stronger than Sunlight - Flash Fiction - Fantasy
Finished editing and can now proceed looking for a landing spot.
2: Welsh Rabbit - Short Fiction - Strange
Came to the conclusion that this one would need to be totally rewritten. I'm not looking to write something entirely from scratch right now, but I feel better for having given it a second look.
3: Twainspotting - Short Fiction - Magical Realism
Edited and tweaked. I feel better about this now than I did when I opened up the file. Name has now been changed to Twain Wreck. It's a take on Mark Twain's Five Boons of Life, which I found bitter, predictable and preachy.
4: Salmon - Short Fiction - Magical Realism
Work continues, but this may fall the way of Welsh Rabbit. I remember now posting a drabbled version of this on The Drabblecast Forums just to see what it would look like greatly reduced. Needs some serious editing.
5: Keep the Doctor Away - Flash Fiction - Strange
Hardly touched a thing. More of a vignette than a complete story, and might be a hard sell.
