This is my Writing Progress Report December 2025.
On November 29, 2025, we were watching the Ohio State Buckeyes beat Xichigan, 27 to 9.
Writing Progress from November 2025.
I wrote four blog posts for my website, garydavidgillen.com. Including my writing progress report for November 2025, which I linked below.
In November 2025, I presented Chapters Seven and Eight of the novelette named Chemithurgy to the Advanced Fiction Writing Workshop on a Zoom call. That completes the novelette version of the story. My plan is to expand the story to novella length in 2026.
I made five posts on my Goodreads account in November 2025.
In the past, I sent the stories, Four Humors, Space Station Sunyata, and Grognard to magazines.
The seven Flash Fiction Stories I sent out in 2020 and 2021 were Space-Dog Confession, Sleeping Sickness, Caliburnus, Popular Mechanics Re-brewed, Wormhole Generator, Runs with Scissors, and Principled Rogue.
Magazine submissions for 2021 were 4 unique stories submitted 4 times, with 0 accepted, 0 pending, and 4 rejections. No submissions for 2022. None for 2023. None for 2024.
Events from November 2025.
