You’ve written a short story, now what?

Hello Space Cadets, how are you all doing today?  I’m doing great, happily working on my third novel.  A little bummed, I killed one of the characters I liked but otherwise I’m okay.  Nothing a latte can’t solve!  Today was a busy day, I had two birthday parties to chaperone my son too but I wanted to keep the daily posts going.  This post might be a little short, so I decided to discuss what to do with your short stories!  Another science fiction author, Joe Vasicek, wrote a blog about this very topic.  I’ve posted a screen shot of the post at the bottom of this, so if I’ve peaked your interest the click here.  Follow the bread crumbs, I promise he won’t bite!

Until next time, stay frosty and don’t forget to keep your powder dry!

J.R. Handley

J.R. Handley is a pseudonym for a family writing team. He is a veteran infantry sergeant with the 101st Airborne Division and the 28th Infantry Division. His family is the kind of crazy that interprets his insanity into cogent English. He writes the sci-fi while they proofread it. The sergeant is a two-time combat veteran of the late unpleasantness in Mesopotamia where he was wounded, likely doing something stupid. He started writing military science fiction as part of a therapy program suggested by his doctor, and hopes to entertain you while he attempts to excise his demons through these creative endeavors. In addition to being just another dysfunctional veteran, he is a stay-at-home parent, avid reader and all-around nerd. Luckily for him, his family joins him in his fandom nerdalitry.
