I've been extremely busy with work and school, and so I forgot to update things for a while, but I've been writing here and there. I just finished up two new pieces: "Checking the Wrong Box," a short story, and "The Meriwether Contact," another novella.
"Checking the Wrong Box" is my first attempt at a real short story. It comes out around 2600 words, and was surprisingly challenging. Writing really short fiction and making it interesting is more difficult than I had thought it would be. I had to come up with an idea that could be executed in that short format, and then trying to economize on words while still describing things and having a decent plot execution with characters who aren't completely flat... quite a strain.
"The Meriwether Contact" is another short novella, coming out around 15000 words. This one's about a completely different group of people stumbling upon a strange derelict ship and going in to investigate.
I'm going to try sending these two out to a magazine or something... see what happens. No high hopes, but it'd be interesting to get some feedback from a disinterested party.
Next on my agenda is a piece in the third person with an antagonist. So far I don't have a lot of experience writing antagonists, so this seemed like a reasonable thing to try next.
I'll come up with some samples and post those when I get a chance.
