Out of the nest
Oh. Dear. Muse.

So I finished my first full short story. Yes, the one I started when I was twenty five. I'm thirty now. Thats too damn long for short story writing. I've finished five since in the past two years, but none are edited, and I have a bad habit of taking Too Much Time Off. I can talk the talk - oh can I talk the talk - but walking the walk?

Heh. No.

Okay, here I'm trying to walk. If you see The Great Warlord Kulgor in the next L. Ron. Hubbard's Writer's of the Future volume, then I did something right.

If not? Eh, I'm learning the walk, and that takes a stumble or two.

Update: Is sent.

"Was I supposed to include a cover letter," he asked himself as he walked out of the Post Office.

Snarky, the cover letter is secondary to actually sending the mansucript. You got it right.

For anyone who doesn't recognise the gentleman posting above, this is Ken. Ken is my favorate writing teacher, mentor, and author. He is an example of what I define as Good People. :)

Go read his books. No, seriously! Go purchase many of his works, and read them, and enjoy them. I do. Lots.

Thank you Ken!
