The urge to create

[Nuytsia]

Oooh more creativity! Good luck to you too Chrischa!!!
You guys are so industrious!

I wish you good luck too, Chrischa. I never guessed that we had so many storytellers among us.

I still haven't received a reply to my story submission. I've been told that it can take a while and that one must NOT harrass publishers with pleas for replies. Still, it's difficult to wait. Meanwhile, I keep writing. I have the beginnings of a fantasy and a sf story in my files and a completed story that's a little closer to home, but I have feeling that something is still lacking from that one.

(Do note that short really does mean short in my case so far - I haven't really gone beyond a couple thousand words per story yet, but we all have to start somewhere, right?)

Absolutely! Keep going!!

[Nuytsia]

Yeah I'd try and forget all about the one you submitted and just keep writing while you have the urge!

Err by forget about it, I don't mean give up on it, just .... don't wait around for it!

I have no inside knowledge but I'd imagine it could take them a very long time to actually get back to you no matter what the outcome.

I just wish they could have given me an estimate. The deadline is 1 september, so I'm not sure if I should expect an answer before then. If only I know how those editors actually work...

I'm working on a new tale, near-future sf and quite disturbing actually... By the time I hear back about my submitted story, I'll have a nice little collection.

Sounds good... Hope they turn out well...

These beings are one step closer to finishing that aforementioned trolley, but they need to get hold of a 3m long pole, either out of some decent wood, or out of lightweight metal before they can finish it... Not the easiest thing to do...

[Nuytsia]

It's a pity you don't live near me..... I have lots of wood growing here!

Alberto well 1 September isn't far off ...... unless you're waiting for it I guess....
Ah well, patience!

This is one of 'thul's current projects...

It is a sort of facility built inside and below an mountain. They use it in a roleplay they are working on.

Now that's a very different sort of creation. Very nice.

Still haven't heard from that magazine. Still working on my near-future piece. I also wrote a very short, more lighthearted piece because my near-future tale is a bit gloomy and I needed a little distraction.

Dang, but I really want to hear back from the mag!

It reminds me a bit of Descent maps...
