I do have a new idea for a story, and I've already written a few words. It's not exactly flowing, although new details come to me each day. But I'll continue to wrestle with it and see what comes out. You just never know!
Well, after my big disappointment of yesterday, I found myself wallowing a bit to-day in a distinct lack of enthusiasm for my writing. I knew I needed to break out of that and get motivated again, so I started researching the market for speculative fiction short stories. The websites that I found were either defunct or way out of my league. But just on a whim, I submitted my story "Viruskiller" to Daily Science Fiction. I wrote "Viruskiller" in May and June, and it just flowed from my fingertips. I don't really think it has a chance of being accepted, but I submitted it anyway, just for fun. Just for the experience. And, mostly, to get myself out of my writing slump.
