Days Like These
Finally started a new short story, one of three I intend to write this month. It’s going to be a bit of a challenge because I’m trying to keep it under 4k words and write about two star-crossed lovers on a dying Earth who happen to be teenaged boys. It’s different, but I feel like writing a love story. It will get me back in the mood to work on Chwedl, or something.
To write the beginning I ended up watching rocket take-offs on youtube. For research. Really.
And people wonder why I choose to write science fiction and fantasy? Heh.
Now to find that awesome article in one of my Analogs’ about lunar bases and space stations. And figure out how I want this story to end.

Short stories? Wonderful!
A short story is always how all my longer projects get started. Although I have to admit that I have far more short stories than the longer version.
I hope that school is going well for you… remember when the going gets tough, the tough write.
LOL… Burl
