I always feel a bit bad popping on here only to plug a Daily Cabal story, but there is a new one up. I’m pleased with this one. I’ve been in a bit of a flash fiction funk lately, reprising a couple of old stories when inspiration failed to strike. Not often a problem for me–not bragging, it’s just I usually figure I’ll need one 1 hour commute to write one of these and I usually don’t think much about them prior to that and I usually get something after 1 or 2 false starts. This started off as an adaptation of a piece of twitter-fic, and sort of mutated into it’s own thing.
Also, this is one where I think the title actually helps. Titles usually kill me slowly so I sort of throw tack on the first piece of crap that sticks to the wall, but here I hope it actually adds something to the story and gives a hint at what I was trying to write about.
But it’s got me back to working hard on the novel outline I’m doing at the moment, so if that’s the only upshot, then I’m still pleased.
