September Song 6 months, 1 week agoBecause I know what the consequences of each choice are, mine have been made for me, very kindly, by Jules.
Sunshine
The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida

Yikes! That book title is ‘kind’?
-
Absolutely. The Sri Lankan civil war, which the west often overlooked as uninteresting, was a terrible but facinating period. I don’t think Jules knew that I was particularly drawn to its history, but if not it’s a lucky accident. The book is a fantasy applying themes from mythology to create a story from the time. It was the Booker prize winner in 2022.

I’m relieved to hear it, and look forward to your entry. Mine is coming on nicely, but I’m nervous as to what strictures the 25th will bring

I’ve tried to make the consequences easy to negotiate.

I chose my title for its inspiration and flexibility; it’s a bonus I’ve already written 286 words.

Sometimes when life is busy, important occasions are overlooked.
It’s that time again. In fact, it is way past that time, so I’d better get this party started. There’s a new group in town. Head on over to “September Song” for details of the new Short Story Challenge.

As in CAS Short Story Competition? Obviously I’m going to welcome you, Silver.
That’s me Richard, nice to meet you! How’s the writing going?
Hello my old SE buddy! Lovely to see you here.
Hello Kate! How are you doing? The writing is flourishing I see!
Having fun writing and publishing. The marketing… less so. But a necessity!
Actually we have met virtually before. If you haven’t made the connection, my story came second in that competition, and we had a brief exchange of e-mails afterwards. Nice to see you here.
After two novels were greeted with deafening apathy by the trade, I decided that at my time of life I had better things to do than putting myself through the…[Read more]
Hi Richard, oh yes, I wasn’t clear in my message but I did remember you from our email exchange – clicked it was you by reading the posts in the Podium section on here where you were posting about the competition. Still remember your story well – a fantastic one. I’m sorry to hear you’ve given up ‘serious’ writing. I empathize as I had a similar…[Read more]
