Good news: I finished my intended Gypsy Shadow Publishing contest story.
Bad news: It's about 8900 words.
Le sigh. At the core of me there is just not a short story writer. ;-)
About Me
- Lindsey Duncan
- I'm a professional harp performer, chef / pastry chef, and speculative fiction writer from Cincinnati, Ohio. My contemporary fantasy novel Flow is available from Double Dragon Publishing, and my science fiction novel Scylla and Charybdis is now out from Grimbold Books. I've also sold a number of short stories and a few pieces of speculative poetry. I write predominantly fantasy, usually epic and/or humorous, with some soft science fiction. I play the traditional lever harp with a specialty in Celtic music - but I also perform modern and Renaissance tunes. And yes, you read that right - I have a diploma in Baking and Pastry and an Associates in Culinary Arts and am currently working in the catering field at Kate's Catering and Personal Chef Services (Dayton, KY). I am a CPC (Certified Pastry Culinarian) and CSW (Certified Specialist of Wine).

Congrats on finishing the story!
And, that's all right. They're taking longer stories too for it. It didn't have to be short (around 3500 words is their minimum from what I've noticed).
8900's not bad. I tend to write longish short stories too.
Yeah, but if I don't win (which should be my base assumption!) selling it elsewhere will be a pain in the tail. ;-)
