So, what’s next?

So, yeah, didn’t get the BBC job. Ah well, their loss.

I’ve been spending some time deciding what my next move is. I’m in the middle of writing a short story, so the plan at the moment is to finish that off then send it to some magazines and see if any would be interested in publishing it.

I might ask if anyone is interested in reading it and giving me feedback before then. So, keep an eye out.

I’ve also got addicted to writing ficlets. Main thing I like about it is the challenge it offers. You have to write a story of between 64 and 1,024 characters. Not words, characters. It’s not as easy as it seems. (In fact, a challenge for those stupidbrave enough to try it. Write an entry of no more than 1,024 characters.)

The other good thing about the site is that if you read something written by someone else and it inspires you, you can write a prequel/sequel for it. That’s what I did for my first ficlet. You can read what I’ve written (if you so wish) here

Apart from that, not much has happened. So I’ll sign off now.

d is doing a “six word story” contest on his blog, which is similarly challenging to a ficlet (which i’d never heard of). quite rad!

That’s not called a ficlet, that’s a LIMERICK! *hehehe* Seriously, though, that sounds like fun! 🙂 ~Shady

From notes: a “six word story” contest <– We came, we saw, we… left. I win! (Not much time to string out a plot, though!) ~Shady

ryn: So now, every note you leave, I’m hearing it in Picard’s voice. Thanks for that. You’d be happy to know I’m watching Dr Who City of Death today. I had (and still have) such a huge crush on Tom Baker’s doctor. Woot!

rynrmn: But he’s not got a scots accent, which I imagine you do. That’s MUCH cooler in my book. Me, bland, American, midwestern, boring BORING. Though I do put on my “professional” voice for people, which is almost radio-quality. Har har. Yeah, IMHO, the BBC doesn’t know what it’s missing. Take care,

Shorter is more difficult, in my experience. I’m a good proofreader–send the story to ME!
