I’ve had another short piece accepted by Flashes In The Dark (same people who accepted Trapped). It’s called Slimming, and it’ll appear on Tuesday under “NKKingston”. I’ll link it from appropriate “Writing as” page when it’s up.

Slimming is a piece I originally wrote for my uni writer’s group a few years back. I changed the PoV and lopped about five hundred words off prior to submitting. With my new job, I’ve been feeling so snowed under and a bit stressed that I wanted something out there that I knew I’d get a quick response on (it took longer than last time, when Flashes got back to me within the hour!). I’m torn between wanting to write and wanting to read, and reading’s been winning because it doesn’t involve a computer. That, and I’m really enjoying Jake Arnott’s Long Firm trilogy, and having spent last night at a friend’s book launch (I’ll talk about that properly later) I have another book I’m dying to get to, let alone the pile by the bed.
