Hi there, this is a quick note to advise that the latest short story (link below) has been gone through a reasonably heavy edit last night, & will be hopefully somewhat ‘improved’. Last night I sat down & went through it all ‘from go to woe, fixed say 90% of the issues.
It’s now quite long at 4700 words. This story is was written in ‘stream of consciousness’ mode, so if the length means its a bit ‘rambling’ – then all the better. I guess at some point it might be paired back to 4000 or 3700 words, but that’s all for later judgement.
I wrote the story because I just thought I’d something, & I just started with the fact I like to buy expensive olives at the deli (only about $6 worth once a week). The only spoiler I’ll divulge is it features at least one talking olive.
Anyway I won’t stay here long, I have to go & do some carpentry – I’m working on refurbishing an old kitchen cabinet.
I hope you have the time to read the short story.
By the way feedback is always welcome via comments or email.
Catch ya later my olive & non-olive eating rascals!
