I'm setting it aside to read tonight, again tomorrow, and then it's ms. printed and out in the mail Monday morning. I have three or four complete short stories, but they're all around 6k, and for some reason--I think it's the accumulation of neat ideas--I can't put the effort into cutting them. It just seems easier to write new stories rather than go back and fix the old.<br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5598400418167058551-792895645203703126?l=the0phrastus.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Chris Howardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18162136372799294575noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5598400418167058551.post-76724864140042609202008-05-31T10:01:00.001-07:002008-05-31T10:01:21.184-07:00I always write when I travel, and last weekend's trip to Wiscon gave me time to put some ideas down. I started two short stories while out there--and on the way there, and I'm just finishing up one now. Expecting to complete the other and get it out the door in the next week. Two radically different stories, one from an idea that's been steeping in my journal for a year. The other just came to me, and I wrote a few paragraphs and an outline to capture it for later.<br /><br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5598400418167058551-7672486414004260920?l=the0phrastus.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Chris Howardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18162136372799294575noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5598400418167058551.post-82147364753798021352008-04-12T18:49:00.000-07:002008-04-12T18:50:32.134-07:00<p>This one started life as a watercolor, and then went digital.<br />Click to see the larger view.</p><br /><br /><p><a onclick="window.open(this.href, '_blank', 'width=652,height=987,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false" href="http://the0phrastus.typepad.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/2008/04/12/oceaninsideher4_2.jpg"><img title="Oceaninsideher4_2" height="544" alt="Oceaninsideher4_2" src="http://the0phrastus.typepad.com/the0phrastus/images/2008/04/12/oceaninsideher4_2.jpg" width="360" border="0" /></a> </p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5598400418167058551-8214736475379802135?l=the0phrastus.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Chris Howardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18162136372799294575noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5598400418167058551.post-36618121962026096152008-04-12T10:47:00.000-07:002008-04-12T10:48:22.346-07:00<p>Live by the sword...
