I'd be happy just nipping at the heels of Niven or Heinlein...both such great writers.<BR/>Soul For Sale and Artemis have gone out once each, and I need to do some more editing to both of them and see where I can send them. I also have sent a story called "Caution Says The Wind" that was rejected. I realize now that that story deals with a concept too large for a simple short story, so it'll likely be put aside until I can determine how to make it novel length.<BR/>But yeah, I am in the process of getting stuff ready for submission. Mostly I have to wait until this semester of community college is over since I work full time and go there full time. Sort of eats up my time. As soon as this semester ends you can bet I'll be submitting a lot more stuff. I've got some endings to write :SAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13571452656553970472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33813337.post-51171908955875455582007-03-02T15:27:00.000-05:002007-03-02T15:27:00.000-05:00Opps, I realized you commented before I had a chan...Opps, I realized you commented before I had a chance to publish mine :P Well, glad to hear you are trying on different stories. No doubt, it is about finding the right contact to get your novels out here. Hope you keep up the momentum :)BlondeSwtPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11804554801130760274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33813337.post-65953995907308051762007-03-02T15:21:00.000-05:002007-03-02T15:21:00.000-05:00I agree with Wow!

I Googled a little and there are a lot of companies out there. I would guess you have a few in mind ... I can see you getting there and being a next Larry Niven or Robert Heinlien. <BR/><BR/>Take Care!BlondeSwtPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11804554801130760274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33813337.post-83288408198131738322007-03-02T14:12:00.000-05:002007-03-02T14:12:00.000-05:00I've been writing seriously for about 5 years wor...I've been writing seriously for about 5 years worth over the last 7 years. I started my first novel senior year of high school (Revival of the Ancients), but quickly abandoned it lol. I learned a few things about writing :P.<BR/><BR/>As for Psychosis being a challenge. I've sent it to three different short story publishers and have received mostly the same reply. The writing is good, but the story is too dark. I've had it critiqued a couple times by editors, of which I am very happy. But Psychosis is dark from start to finish. It doesn't start happy, and it doesn't end happy. It's practically dark psychological horror from the get go.<BR/>Anywho, don't worry about how much you've written. I started out really slow, burst into a lot of different ideas, and then started going through phases of writing. I'm in a down phase right now. The only thing I'm really writing is WISB, and doing some editing work here and there. No new ideas currently. But that will end eventually and I'll write eight new stories in two weeks.<BR/><BR/>Just keep at it :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13571452656553970472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33813337.post-60623383320034462082007-03-02T08:09:00.000-05:002007-03-02T08:09:00.000-05:00>It's impossible to get published because it's not...>It's impossible to get published because it's not easy to sell<BR/><BR/>Sounds like a challenge to me. ;)<BR/><BR/>I love the idea of Skylark! It's such an unusual way to limit power.<BR/><BR/>How long have you been writing for? I've been doing it for about ... three years (ish) now and I don't even have half the number of stories you do. I don't think I've had even half the number of ideas, even.

One of them had to do with the ghost of Lizzie Borden--(Lizzie Borden took an axe, gave her mother forty whacks)--attacking a teenage girl who stumbles on her grave. Spooky, but I stopped writing it, because I figured Lizzie Borden's family might not appreciate it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
