Post 7
Sci-Fi- Like space writing sci fi can be a challenge. After all if you have a face book account do you really carry about space travel.
If you do like space travel, perhaps you prefer semi science fiction like that espoused in “Gravity” or Matt Damons’ Elysium
While I have always enjoyed such films, I found good things come in threes. I wrote a sci-fi trilogy Tritium 115, and then due a lack of interest in my screenplays, I came back to fiction.  Over fifteen years ago I started a novel. I did not like the adjectives and adverbs required in a novel.  While my late hero Elmore Leonard sparsely used exposition and relied on great dialog I didn’t want to copy his style. So I started writing screenplays. However, a few weeks ago having stalled out on my nonfiction book at 20 pages and my screenplay at page 60 of a screenplay I returned to short form fiction. Remember this thought the late great Phillip Dicks’ stories sell at 25 for .99 cents. While my imagination is not comparable .99 cents is demeaning for a great writer. So I priced mine at $1.50 a piece not so much in that I am a great writer but just the principle that a word should be at least worth 05 to .08 cents.

This is link to my first short story, Rejects.
