New story today...

"(Feels Like) Starting Over" got published today in Indiebloggers. I'm very pleased by that, as well as the immediate and total enthusiasm from their editors.

I've been asked whether or not I was writing from personal experience. I'm not, this is fiction. A lot of the story elements were drawn from personal experience and I think some people might see parts of themselves in what I wrote. To quote that old boilerplate "Any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental".

Forgot to add two other authors I think are interesting. William Gibson and Robert Mailer Anderson. Gibson writes scenes so descriptive that I often refer to them as 'delicious' - which freaks other people out. Anderson in "Boonville" handled the whole idea of a guy at the end of one of his life and the beginning of another that I was really inspired to try and do the same. Gibson is so descriptive in telling his stories (even though some of his stories appear dated and clunky now -- science fiction is like that sometimes) that you can put yourself into the action. I actually picked up a recipe from one of his books but that's for later.
