Welcome to your Friday Morning FYI! My chance to share observations/wisdom/rants in short, easily consumed form.
This week’s FYI is inspired by a conversation I recently had with my girlfriend about #NaNoWriMo:

Over on her blog, Michelle Hauck is hosting a first page critique where writers create a link to a blog post with the first 250 words of their novel, and then offer feedback to other writers. Sounds like fun :), so here’s mine. Even if you’re not participating in the critique, feel free to comment.

I make no secret that Autumn is my favorite season. The clean, cold air, the spices, and my god the colors! So, as my creative post for this month, I offer a non-poet’s feelings on this most magical time of year.
Welcome to your Friday Morning FYI! My chance to share observations/wisdom/rants in short, easily consumed form.
This week’s FYI is writer-focused (if you’re not a writer, that’s OK, you’ll get the idea):
Writers, try to read like a reader, not a writer. Yes, this is harder than it sounds, but is especially important when self-editing, and when another writer asks you to look at their work.

Time for more fiction!
So I’ve made the decision to try to post something short (flash, short story, poem, etc.) at least once a month. Below is something I originally wrote for a contest, but never submitted (I know, I know). If I had to categorize it, it would be Sci-fi flash fiction (less than 1000 words), but there’s no aliens, spaceships, or lasers. Think 1984 meets the Klingon Empire with a splash of Ender’s Game (No, no aliens!).
WARNING – This story will not be for everyone. It’s dark, and, depending on your viewpoint, doesn’t have a happy ending. You’ve been warned 🙂
Enjoy, and comment away!
