Nathan Bransford, Author: The Publishing Process in GIF Form

Writers, if you need a laugh, go to Nathan Bransford's blog from 8/27/12. He's so clever.  I'm only several frames into the process, but looking forward to experiencing the rest of the journey!

Let's Talk, FWA Collection #3

 
I have two new short stories published in the 2011 Florida Writers Association Collection #3, Let's Talk.

This year, all submissions to the contest had to bewritten in dialogue only, with  no attributions, or tags. Writing this way is harder than it sounds.  I had fun with the exercise, though I have no idea why both of the stories I entered dealt with death.  I  never know where my "muse" is going to take me.  "Storm Clouds" and "The Perfect Ending" are entirely fictitious. I am pleased that both stories were selected for the collection. Here is the website for ordering the book: Let's Talk at Barnes & Noble   or at Amazon. There are some great stories, and good writers, included in the collection.

I was out of town for the FWA Conference this year, so I missed meeting W. Bruce Cameron, the author of renown for the compilation.  I enjoy his work, so that would have been a treat. Here's hoping for similar results next year. The theme is Wheels: Details for 2012.

Now, I'm off to prepare for NaNoWriMo    I hope you join me! The fun begins.
