Um. Anyone want to read some short stories?

Posted on May 20, 2010 by bipolarlawyercook| 8 Comments

So… that wannabe writer thing?  I’ve been work­ing (qui­etly, shh, because even putting them here on the blog counts as pub­li­ca­tion) on some actual, real-live orig­i­nal fic­tion.  And I’ve finally got­ten the ovaries to start send­ing them out to peo­ple for rejec­tion con­sid­er­a­tion for real, live publication.

I do have a few peo­ple I can send them to for review­ing and edit­ing, but … for exam­ple, I send a flash fic­tion piece to my Dad, an invet­er­ate reader, and his com­ment was “you should con­tinue with this.”  Which is a back­handed com­pli­ment, sure, but it’s flash fic­tion.  1000 words was the point.

So, do any of you dear read­ers want to take some pieces for an occa­sional test drive?  You don’t need to feel the need to be an edi­tor, say– but I’d love to just get some feed­back about whether the piece feels real and sincere.

I don’t have any­thing right now that needs read­ing, but if you’re up for it, just leave a com­ment!  And thanks!
