Synopsis
The Yuskian spring bison hunt is a generations-old rite of passage for the people of that country, and big game has always held a certain allure for Lucas Galloway. In the spring of 9970 he sets out to take part in the bison hunt with his good friend Jeremy Prinks, but he soon finds himself swept away on an adventure of literally gigantic proportions.

Writing Update – September 16, 2011
I mentioned in my post yesterday that I had a story published by OneFortyFiction.
Beyond that, this week has been moderately productive on the writing front. I wrote a flash fiction story called "Reclaiming the Night" and submitted it to a couple of places. It was originally a TypeTrigger story, but I fleshed it out and edited it a bit.
I also improved on a Six-Minute Story piece called "What We Left Behind" and submitted it to handful of markets.
I'm working through a difficult portion of my novel, but I've done 4,500 words in that so far this week, and I'd like to do a bit more tomorrow. I know the direction the story has to go from here, but I'm struggling a bit with a couple of new characters, so I have to get it all straight in my head.
Another thing I've been working on is a bit of a world-building collaborative project. I wrote the second story from this new world and have been doing some thinking about where to go from there. Not sure how soon I'll be able to talk about that more, but it's a lot of fun so far, and we'll see where it ends up.
No responses from markets to report this week. I have 9 stories submitted to 19 different markets that are pending responses.
Writing Update – August 20, 2011
This week I've been chugging along on my novel, and I'm up to about 13,500 words now. That's almost 50 pages, and I'm not yet a quarter of the way through my outline.
I had a few stories rejected by various publications, all par for the course. There's a possibility that I've had a children's story accepted by one place, but it isn't confirmed yet. I currently have seven stories out in the ether, submitted to eleven different publications (because of simultaneous submissions of one story to multiple magazines).
I've had a sci-fi idea kicking around for a few weeks that finally blossomed yesterday, and I've been working on outlining it. I don't know if I want to take time out from my novel to work on a different idea, though, especially since the outline for this new one is shaping up to be in the 10,000 to 15,000 word range, or possibly even longer, depending on how I structure it. I think I'm going to work more on the outline this weekend, and decide after that how I want to prioritize my projects.
Of course, I'm still working on my Master's thesis, too. I'm doing revisions right now, and should hopefully be done those at some point next week.
When I find out whether my children's story has actually been accepted, I'll let everyone know where and when you can see it. Until then, I have lots of work in front of me!
