Literatti: X Files Fiction By Deslea: Stories By Date
Stories By Date (2002)

2002 was a good year for me on the writing front - I broke a lot of new ground. My favourites for this year are A Woman's Code and Concessions Made/Concessions Broken. A Woman's Code was particularly good fun because I got to play with an unreliable narrator with a wilfully distorted view on her world. I was pretty busy for part of this year with end-of-series projects, and that meant that my work was mostly short and intermittent, but I grew a lot, as well. I can see the foundations of the growth spurt I had in early 2003.
