New Story in Progress

This weekend I’ve been working on my latest story, which is based on a nightmare I was having on August 29, 2003, right before my mother-in-law woke me up to drive her to the doctor for her broken arm. Yes, I know the date, because we went to Dragoncon right...

Second and third opinions…

I just emailed “Women’s Work”–the current title of the time dilation story–to a friend for comments. I always have to resist the urge to hit “check mail” every ten seconds when I do that. 🙂 Of course, Brian’s seen it...

Wow. 1000+ words!

And they’re good words, according to the S.O. Much, much progress on the time dilation story. All the chunky bits of exposition worked in non-chunkily, and mainly the denoument to go, I think. Heh. He still wants to kill the antagonist. Hopefully she’s...
