Dip a Toe

I have, today dipped a toe into the proverbial writing pond. I have stepped off that precipice and have plied the waters to find my bounty... Right! If only writing worthwhile things was all it took. But as the first project chronicled in this blog I thought it would be good to begin with a Short Story submission. Always fun and rewarding right?

We'll see...

The project I'm working on surrounds the adventures of the mining tug Iyanough (Eye-an-oh). It's planned as a short series that begins with the utter destruction of the planet Earth. It is a science fiction piece that I am working to keep as realistic as I can. (I don't want you to smell the bullshit coming). The first installment is available now for kindle at: Eschelon 7 (The Iyanough Chronicles) . It's also available in PDF form here:


Echelon 7: The Iyanough Chronicles

I am proud of this piece. It's one of the first that actually received some good reviews from readers.

As with most writers, I am also working on a novel. This will be my first ... and since I have never done this before ... I have no idea how long it's going to take. I know it'll be a lot of work, but I am looking at it like a labor of love. If, and that's a big 'IF', it get's published I'll be estatic.

Advice this go 'round: Write. Write. Write. Even if you're convinced that what you're writing is the worst kind of self indulgent drivel there ever was. Write. Write. Write. Just do it ... you'll be glad you did.
