Ended around 2000 words that I've edited down a bit. 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.
About Me
- Chris Howard
- My novel SEABORN will be out in July 2008 from Juno Books. My short story "Hammers and Snails" won the Heinlein Centennial Writing Contest (Amateur Division) -July 2007. I signed with Sternig & Byrne Literary Agency in May 2007. Other than that, I love to create, primarily with words. As an army brat, I grew up all over: Fort Belvoir, Virginia, Indiana, Presidio of San Francisco, France, Germany, and Japan. My short stories have appeared in The Harrow, Another Realm, Ultraverse, Quantum Muse and others. I'm a writer who also paints, working in pen and ink, watercolor and digital formats. I've settled in coastal New Hampshire with my wife and two wonderful kids, and I've blogged steadily since 2004, mostly on writing, art, Aristotle and technology.
