The first time I wrote this, I had the wrong ending. I got clever, and thought I would Say Something about Writing. Then I sent it to the wrong market, where they pointed out the ending problem and rejected it (so maybe it was the right market, in its own way). The story is a little quieter now, and I think really, like it always wanted to be, it's just about a couple of guys.
I just finished reading your piece and I came here immediately to tell you how fantastic I thought it was.
ReplyDeleteAs an aspiring writer myself, I thought it was a truly moving piece, fantastic dialogue and well fleshed out characters done in a very Heinlein-esque manner (which is one hell of a compliment I assure you).
Anyway you did a great job, and hopefully I'll see more of your work (and maybe some of mine) popping in my inbox again someday.
Good luck
Joe,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the thoughtful comment. I assure you the compliment does not go unappreciated. :-)
Best of luck in your own work,
Brynn
