Enjoying the hiatus from writing, but itching to get back to it. Tonight I'll be getting started on - or rather getting to the middle on - a short story that I've been scribbling away at during downtime (usually when waiting to pick Sarah up or at spare moments during the day) for the last couple of weeks. I think I know pretty much all of the story at this point; it's more of a vignette than a full blown story and should be a couple of thousand words at most, and hopefully it won't take more than a couple of days to finish. After that, well, the world's my mollusc. I've got more ideas than you could shake a goat at, so I'm looking forward to having some fun. I'll probably be podcasting some of the shorter stories too, depending on how they turn out, so watch this space for news.
In the meantime, here's something to keep you entertained. Mur Lafferty of I Should Be Writing and Geek Fu Action Grip has edited Voices: New Media Fiction, a podiobook anthology of stories, which is now online at Podiobooks.com. From the blurb:
Voices: New Media Fiction brings together the pioneer short fiction podcasters. Experimenting from putting short-short fiction to novellas over their podcasts, these writers were the first to test the new medium for storytelling. Some wrote specifically for podcasts, some read previously published fiction, and some read entirely new stories. Some listeners asked if they could get just the stories in audio form, and that request brought about this podiobook. Cory Doctorow tells us a story about a post-apocalyptic government run by sysadmins and James Patrick Kelly narrates a story of a strange reconciliation. We've collected 18 stories for you, the first short fiction to go out over podcast, and look forward to bringing you more.
