I just finished the second draft of what is hopefully a comical ghost story entitled Dead Again (which is in tribute to the band Type O Negative as I'm going through an extreme T.O.N. phase right now). It's a good-chunk of a short story, just over 5,000 words, but maybe I can shave off a few more to really tighten it up before conisdering it for submission. I always have to go through multiple drafts before I'm even mildly satisfied with the word-choice. I scrutinize over every little syllable.
But for right now I'm going to take a break, get some coffee, pet the kitty, then go kiss my girlfriend awake . . . then I'll be all like: "Get in the kitchen and make breakfast!"
Just joking.
