I hadn't given much thought to a second story, I had hoped there would be more authors participating and it would not be an issue. Given my own work pressures, and other issues getting in the way of my writing, I can't see me writing something new in any reasonable time.
I do have a longer work that just might get finished in time, but it looks like it might come out around 20k words - and it is very odd (the closest to horror I've written). No one else has seen anything of it yet, so there is a chance it might get discarded; I won't know whether I think it is publishable until I've finished it. By both its length and its nature it may be inappropriate to this anthology. I've been struggling with it for months (for various reasons, the nature of the story is just one of them), but I think it's one of those things I have to get out of my system before I can move on.
