FOR WRITERS
Today’s writer topic comes from QSFer Denise Deschene:
When did you start writing and how many of your early stories are stored away on composition books or typed up waiting to see the light of day? Do you ever go back and read them, if so have you published any of them, if not why not?
I pulled some 25 + year old stuff out of my old word processor a couple of years ago and worked on a few unfinished stories that showed promise and sent a couple of them off—to my surprise I got a nice rejection letter on one of them which didn’t make it seem like the work of a guy who was just starting out and not finishing anything because he’d rather have another beer!
