For the record…

In case you think I'm slacking off.

(1) I wrote short stories for two competitions this past weekend, that have nothing to do with Joan. So I'm flushing my head of other stuff.

(2) The next story for her involves taking someone I've become friends with and turning them into a character, and telling a version of her story. It means I'm doing a bunch of research in medical/insurance stuff, as well as compiling timelines, medical conditions, and surgical jargon. I have the basic plot down, I'm just working on a lot of finicky details. I will try to stick close to the 3K word limit the others have had, but I'm not concerned so much since I'm writing this for me and not Reedsy.

It'll probably be next week, just because of how convoluted it is. The original version was in Ontario in 2010. I'm moving it to the Triad in '15. So a whole different county and how they handle medical stuff.
