I finished the alt-history story I was working on for the Codex Halloween story contest. I can’t give away any details until the contest ends. However, this will be the story I send to Writers of the Future contest for this quarter.
I also did my first read-through of the last story I wrote, Karoshi. I wasn’t particularly thrilled with it, but writers are notoriously bad at judging their own work. I think I’m too close to it.
I’ll be taking Karoshi to the writers group I belong to a week from Sunday. I’ll be interested in the reaction.
In other news, my story I Can Fly will be podcast on Jack Mangan’s Deadpan as early as next week. It’s my first try with podcasting a story, and I’m not sure what reaction I’ll get. I Can Fly originally appeared in the July 2008 issue of The Written Word.
I’ll post a link when it’s available.
