So I wrote a story...

Chief Rum · 01-16-2018, 01:44 PM

I have dabbled in writing for a long time but have recently taken steps to get more serious about it. And I finished a short story.

To anyone interested, feel free to download and (hopefully) enjoy.

Very cool. I will give it a read. Have you thought about self-publishing on Amazon?

I have. That's probably the early plan. I'm still in the "getting my name out there" phase and building a brand/catalogue. But that is a step in my plan.

Nicely done, enjoyed it!

digamma · 01-16-2018, 04:25 PM

Congrats--and respect for putting yourself out there.

Chief Rum · 01-16-2018, 06:09 PM

Thank you, both of you.

What I have found so funny in this experience so far is when I re-read my story for about the 100th time, I still found a mistake or two or glaring errors. Lol...oh well.

I enjoyed it quite a bit, Chief! Maybe I should write my zombie apocalypse love story that I've had kicking around in my head for years.

You're so sassy, you're too sassy for yourself.

Thanks clap!

Like Gretzky said, you miss every shot you don't take. I say go for it. I would love to read it.

Kodos · 01-17-2018, 08:11 AM

What's funny is the working title has been "Love in a time of zombies".

Believe it or not, I had this one under the title of "Short Story" for about a year, year and a half. I have a habit of just working on a story when I feel like it, and let it sit when I'm not feeling it. Call me GRRM.

But I knew I needed an actual title. Probably took me 15 mins to settle on this one. Felt right once I hit on it.

It's a short story. Nothing wrong with playing off of a famous book title for something like that.

Hope you write your story.

Is that the length of a vintage CR post?
