I've found some additional stories in my LJ tappings that completely blast the idea of titling a book of such tales "a baker's dozen" (unless we wish to invoke the rule of "there are three types of people in the world: those who understand mathematical concepts, and those that don't").
So right now, I'm at nearly 24,000 words (93 pages) in my book of short-short stories.
In other news, assignments received through December 18 suggested the month would be a genuine, 24-carat stinker, invoice-wise, but work that has arrived (and been completed) during the past five days has salvaged things to the point of making me breathe easier. It won't be a stellar month, but then again, 2017 hasn't been a year for stellar months of translation work.
Apparently, the folks on the Russian side of the equation are trying to pump things out before their holiday season kicks in for about a week starting with the New Year.
I'll not complain. Bring it on!
Cheers...
