Well, I finally f*cking did it. Gary and Mary is now live on the Finished Short Stories page. The time had come to post it and move on. And I’m happy with the effort. Over the last three weeks, I realized a story or novel is lot like a dish. The words and phrases can be tweaked forever, like trying to add the right garnishes in the hopes of pushing the flavors, colors, and textures to new heights. At a point, which I hit today, I called it good and moved on. Good for me.

(On another note, I’m thankful for this space. This blog, my website, has a mystical way of keeping me going when I’m tired and sad and lose hope. The words I write here mean something to me, and I aim to keep my promises. It’s rare for me to keep and care for a thing as I do Fearless Grit dot Com.)
