According to the forum sticky’s guidance, I am to discuss the following:
I'm on another forum, perhaps two, but looking for activity that checks my boxes depending on what day that is,
What: I seem to write short fiction; historical, sci-fi, regular, past, now, future or usually all mixed up. With long form, I’m currently working with the late 19th century west plus a fantasy element. Whatever I work with, I keep screwing up the with something unusual or fantastic but I can’t go full on fantasy. I’m pragmatic about it. Did 2-stroke engines exist then? Yes? Well then, a strong man can wear one on his back in 1915.
Reading: I read. Not voraciously because there’s so much other great distracting stuff! But, I like fiction and biography, some historical sources more and more but that’s because of the ideas I’m getting. I have to know something about it before I screw it all up.
How long: I always had ideas and scratched down some notes here and there. I began short story fiction in my twenties when I started a terrible paying night flying job that afforded me nothing in my small apartment. Today, I’m all or nothing about what I do - once I get started, I’m just fine. I’ve been on a sort of hiatus for the last year due to moving, selling, serious family health reasons for sure are a stopper. I’m back on it now. My misfit post-war submarine crew of short/flash-fiction adventurers is getting another installment.
Beta: I’ve got so much going on. I’m not saying I wouldn’t but there’s a higher chance for NO than YES.
Finally, hobbies or expertise: Cars, bikes, planes, games are the hobbies. What keeps the heat on is the Airline pilot job. (Got questions about flying, planes, social environment, etc. please send a message and I’ll try to answer it) So when all that is not taking up my time, I can do the rest.
I’m here to learn. Currently I feel I really need a good direction for revision/editing. That whole stage is where magic happens. I’m sure the pros have a system. I need to work on the order to do it right so I’m not going back where I don’t need to or missing a step.
Thank you all. Tip your wait staff. Drive safe.
