The Spoons That Are My Ears!

The first book features 100 of them, the second features 200, this new book features 300, and the fourth will feature 400. This is an allusion to the tetractys of the decad, and the reason for a classical analogue of this kind is that the sequence involves the cyclops Polyphemus and the centaur Chiron as the teller and witness of the drabbles.

I have a mild obsession with the classical myths and legends and this stems entirely from my exposure to the Ancient Greek tales at a very impressionable age.

The four collections will be published as soon as each is ready, as paperbacks and ebooks, and after the fourth has been released, an omnibus will be prepared that will contain all the drabbles.

In some ways, I think this was a crazy project to embark on. Writing drabbles is difficult, not so much because of the requirement to keep coming up with new ideas (that's one thing my brain seems to do without any prompting) but to hone each drabble down to exactly 100 words. It's the precision of the wordage that takes up a lot of time... But it's too late now. I have written 600 out of the proposed 1000 and I might as well continue going until the very end.
