Short Stories
Alex & Raf
These short tales have the potential to grow into their own once I find the time to take a walk on the wild side.
The Best Laid Plans
This was my first attempt at a FanStory.com contest. The piece was to begin with the sentence: "It was supposed to be easy," and not to exceed 7,000 words. Yeah, well.... My first draft came in at 7,017. I was actually pretty proud of that as it was my shortest complete piece to date. Once the contest was over, I revised for content not word count. No, I didn't win; I didn't cultivate enough popularity among those casting votes through "bought reviews." The current version came in at 7,671 words.

You Can't Pick Your Family
This was my second attempt at a FanStory.com contest. The piece was to begin with the sentence: "Stop or I'll shoot," and again not to exceed 7,000 words. This one fared a little better in the word-count department. This one came in at 3,512 and ended at 3,831. Not terrible, but it left things open to more possible story arcs. Don't you love it when that happens?
