After enduring a long dry period of writer's block I've once more become engaged with the craft, but slowly. This comes just in time for ReaderCon in Boston where I will no doubt be roundly criticized for not my lack of production.
Worse, I am finally seeing publication and realizing how far behind I've gotten.
Worse, I am finally seeing publication and realizing how far behind I've gotten.
- Earlier this year my blue collar space story "Highjack" appeared in Trajectories.
- This week I saw the appearance of my small thought experiment in Daily Science Fiction
- "Haunted" the complex novella Cat Rambo and I struggled over has appeared in Apex & Abyss
- I've also been promised an October release of my tale of cybernetic love "Turtle and Bird" in Men and Machine.
- Several reprints of my Analog SF/F are also pending publication.
- I remain hopeful that the one novel in review finally finds acceptance but have yet to interest anyone in my most recent one.
- And who knows what acceptances I might receive on something among the ten pieces I have in circulation (or of the six WIP) between now and September, which is the latest date that might see a 2016 publication.
Yet, with all this activity I am still reluctant to complete the almost finished stories that clutter my desktop and haunt my dreams.
Is this what recovering from writer's block feels like?
