Life in the 29th Century

Fiction Friday Begins

  When is a story, not a story?  Turns out that several of the first
stories I sent out were "slice of life" stories or vignettes.  Not stories
full of action and conflict, which is what many editors want.  I've
promised stories for 03.03.2008, so instead of jumping the gun, I thought
I'd share with you "Home Front".  It's a series of vignettes spanning
The War which shows up in a lot of my 29th century SF.  This isn't the
original version of "Home Front" -- I've been mining it for stories,
taking out some of the vignettes and turning them into short stories
of their own for a couple of years now. (grin)

  If you like, "Home Front" was necessary for me to write -- it puts
book ends or parentheses around the timeline of The War.  It also allowed
me to investigate what was happening away from the battles... i.e., back
at the Home Front.

In The Beginning

I set up this blog for the simple reason of having a Blogger address for commenting on my friends with Blogger blogs. (grin) And I thought I might use it for posting essays on my SF writing. But that didn't happen.

New and Improved

But now I have my website, dr-phil-physics.com , and the first real update was to create Fiction Fridays and post some stories and vignettes. So now this blog has a new mission -- to provide a place for readers, if any, to comment, as if. (double-grin)

So that's the rational. Have fun.
