I just finished the second draft of a science fiction story. That's why I haven't posted here for a while. It is 29 pages long, and it has taken about three weeks to get to the end of the second draft. I hope to do the third draft within the next few days, since most of the time spent on the second draft involved tracking down technical details. Now I just need to clean up the major and minor arcs of the story and integrate the structure.
Part of me wants to spend another month or year playing in the sandbox of the story, since it is a great escape from other things in my life.
But I also want to sell it, and a practical approach requires writing this amount of verbiage at a nickle a word every three days.
If anyone actually is reading this and wants to see the story, write me at zeitguide@yahoo.com and I will send you a copy of the draft.
