At my age degree of chronological success, it has become clear as a mountain stream at spring snow-melt that my writing has zero chance of acceptance for publication in any standard venue. I have accepted that, which is as close to an acceptance as I ever expect to get. But, owing to a personal story of no interest here, I have been encouraged to put at least one thing into a “published” format, for a very small niche audience. I do know how to do that, from having published a number of old out-of-copyright books via a POD outlet.
So the current plan, for that single work, is to produce a handful of copies (six or eight) and distribute them free at a particular venue which is appropriate. After that, the future of the other stuff I have written (novels, shorts, essays) is vague, but probably not positive. The temptation to delete all of it is growing, in no small part out of concern that ever making any of it available publicly could jeopardize human civilization as we know it.
That’s the endgame.
