Just received the email newsletter. The genre short story challenge sounds fun. There are so many I've haven't used, I'm going to be spoilt for choice. Maybe. 🤨😄 🖊✏

Anthology stories have been steadily coming in.  It's not too late to get one finished and sent to me for proofing!

I take it short stories aren't included in the updates, because my Halloween stories aren't listed.

A script is used to generate the recent updates list. I'm not sure why they wouldn't have been included! I will look when I get home.

I had scheduled them for a date in advance, but when they didn't post by early that morning, I published the stores on my own.  That might have had something to do with it, although I'm not sure.

I'm sure that's exactly it. There have been glitches with the post-dating system that Myr has put out announcements about.
