Wade and I began work this week on a collection of our Black Coffee Fiction short stories. Between us we have 32 stories, quite a collection for two people to accumulate in only seven months. We've picked out the pieces we want to include in our book. (We're excluding our depressing Christmas stories which will be another collection later on.)
In some cases, we think the stories are fine as we published them on our blog, but others need some work. To get the job done, we've set up a schedule.
We meet once a week at the Copper Rock Coffee House, on Thursdays. On Friday, one of us must post a new story, so we critique it while drinking our coffee and tea. The writer with the week off will re-edit a previous story. Following this schedule, we should have eighteen stories completed and re-edited by September and at that point we will be ready to self-publish our book in e-book and paperback.
I think I may include the Love through the decades stories, like the one I published last week. Wade is doing some interesting short stories about two odd superheroes, Michael and Corncob. He published one of them today at http://blackcoffeefiction.blogspot.com
We are proud of what we've accomplished. By setting strict deadlines, we have produced quite a body of work while continuing to write our personal blogs and working on novels.
