Just submitted to the Podcastle Flash Fiction Contest. Two days early, and either six or two words under the 500 word limit, depending on whether Google Docs or Word is more accurate.
I listen to Escape Pod’s sci fi narrations somewhat regularly, and there was a promo for the contest there that tickled the part of my brain that keeps trying to marshal the rest of it to put aside my business and journalism ambitions and finally get back in the regular writing saddle.
It seems to have done me some good, anyway. I’m excited about the characters in my submission, who hail from my fantasy novel which, by rights, should’ve been edited years ago.
Time to aggressively schedule time to work on it.
Thanks to Laura Matthews for the advice, and also to Mary Carlos for test reading.
Fezzik: Inigo?
Inigo: What?
Fezzik: I hope we win.
