This is the problem with short fiction publication: it's deceptive. Pretty much everything listed here was written prior to this year - in at least three cases, several years ago. "Cat Play," for instance, was written back in 2009. I believe only two things listed here were written in 2016.

So it's very easy to have a year, like this one, where it looks as if I wrote a lot, when in reality I spent most of the summer throwing up/in bed, not actually writing a lot. That, I fear, is going to make 2017 and 2018 look non-productive - which in turn will hopefully be deceptive. Fingers crossed.
