Read title.
I managed to knock off another short story this past weekend, although “short” would have to be looked at in… we’ll call it “perspective”. It’s nearly 4,500 words long.
!
It’s not a bad story – I thought it was good, even if other people didn’t – and it actually pertains to this blog. I made it a goal to write one short story about the background of every character from The TECH Project. The first was My Sacrifice, a story about Zoe Lee and her origins as the leader of Team Erie Canal. The second, the story I just finished, was titled Dance, Dance, a tribute to Ian Drake’s freshman year. (Not to be confused with a Fall Out Boy song of the same name. They have nothing to do with one another.)
There are still ten stories left to go. I have a plan – of sorts – for all of them. But I really liked this last story.
If anyone would like to read it, just comment with your e-mail in the comment or in the response, and I’ll e-mail you a copy.
Meanwhile… I should be hearing back from that one last agent sometime this week, more towards the end of the week. I can’t express how hopeful I am – even though I’m probably just going to get rejected again.
