Pete’s Plan
I got some comments back from some people on this story. I
rewrote it based on their comments. I incorporated some new ideas I had as I
read it over. It is a bit longer at over 1,000 words now. I think it is better
too.
I’ll read it over again next week, and submit it to another
magazine. One magazine I came across wouldn’t consider a story under 1,000
words, so I can submit to them now.
Felix
Felix is a
reimagining of a H. P. Lovecraft story set on Mars. I made some good progress
and still have ideas popping up in my mind. It looks like it will turn out
shorter than I thought it would though.
The final story won’t be anything like the story I based it
on. I’m not 100 per cent sure if that is a good thing or not.
Heat Wave
I am about half way through the first draft. I haven’t
worked on it for a while now. I’d like to blame it on the other projects I
worked on, but there is another reason. I started with the ending and worked
backward, and now the ending looks a little lame compared to the rest of the
story. Maybe I’m overly concerned about that. I should finish it and get some
one else’s opinion.
I do still have ideas for this story pop up periodically. Mostly
it’s because I see parallels between the character’s situation and some of the
experiences I had. Like many other people, I always think of good responses to
what people say to me after it is too late. I think I can use those “I wish I’d
said” moments to say what I wanted to. That would give me a quantum of solace.
