I have a group of old and a group of new 'writing things' that are mostly horrible attempts at trying to write a novel. (I have chronicled and posted arguably the worst of the bunch here.) There are about 6-10 'writing things' in each group and at this point I think it would be best for me to try to edit as most of them as I have the stomach for into short stories and package them as two unique collections (one for the old and one for the new). The old one I know I want to call Yawns & Licks, but I'm not sure about the new one. I'm going to try to tackle one piece a day and then package and format them when all the editing is complete. Please wish me luck. This is a truly thankless enterprise but I need to do it before I can move onto the next big thing.
