But, back to the journey at hand. At lunch today, I made some progress. Not a lot, but some. Things are laying down nicely and I feel like I have my voice back in the story with my head back in the game. I know this because I can see where I went wrong and am able to make the corrections to make the work stronger and more exciting. I heard from a friend that if a sentence doesn't create action or move the story forward, take it out. I have done a lot of editing lately.
I was involved with a local writers group in San Diego this last year, The Science Fiction Writers of San Diego. I attended a few functions and submitted a couple of stories for publishing in the anthology. As of yet, I haven't heard if either of the stories were chosen. We'll see. Either way, the work I wrote up will be published either way. One of them is already out there in cyberspace, "The Silence." I revised it for the anthology, but it's true to its original content. The other story is an addition to the world of Talos, and Tales of the Pirate ship Ferryman. It's a great back story for the stowaway in that deep space story. I'll unveil it here as soon as I have word that it is accepted, or excepted.
Also, on a side note, I fell into a game online that Google has thrown at all of us. I try to keep myself from being so 'distracted' by it, but it is entertaining. The game is called Ingress. (Thank you for the heads up, Gabe.) You should really check it out. It is amazing. (https://www.ingress.com/)
If you find yourself in line waiting for something to do, and decide to check out your phone, try it out. Join the resistance, like me. :)
