Tales from the WIP: 07282023
Had a productive week.
Two short stories. One is 5,000 and the other is 6,000 words, and are both different.
The first story concluded The Sentinels and another Radicci Sisters Mystery.
I expected it to be between 5,000 to 10,000 words but because of all the character development that happened in the previous stories I was able to focus on the action. And, there’s a lot of action. A big old car chase with psychics on both ends.
I had fun writing The Sentinels and I hope it comes through when you read it.
Now that I’m done with 7 stories altogether, I was thinking about releasing them in two-packs.
But there are 7 stories, no?
Yes, but I can include the 7th with the whole novel that I’ll sell in the store and Patreon. A bonus, but also necessary, story.
The second one I completed was the pulp one I’ve been wanting to do for ages. A bio-punk, sci-fi pulp with high adventure. I tried to add as much action and twists as I could in such a short space while including a political and social voice.
Sadly, it has sparked other stories in this universe. Expect more bio-punk adventures with these characters.
What’s the plan for next week?
Two more stories.
I want to do another sci-noir Kharma story and maybe another of those pulp formula stories as described above. Pulp formula is a lot of fun. Heck, maybe I’ll apply it to the Kharma story.
