Saving on Wall Paper
Great Escape came back from “All Star Adventures” and spent a week in turnaround as I tried to decide to do the 10% purge. At 16,000 words, its really too long. (Asimov’s doesn’t like anything longer than 15K.)
But I already have one story on my desk that’s getting the purge. GE would just just sit there. So… Off it went to Asimov’s.
I’ve also had two experienced industry people tell me that it’s movie material: Edward Scissorhands meets Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark.
So now I get to tackle screenplay writing in my copious spare time.
