Yet another short up

I put up a short story I completed a couple of weeks ago that was rejected by magazines on Smashwords and Scribd for free. I liked this story, bit different to my others. Tried to explore how a child stuck living in space would feel looking down on Earth. Haven't done much other writing yet today but will get on it soon. Don't feel up to it but will try and crank out a few hundred words.

Bleak Rock now up on Kindle

My novella Bleak Rock was published on Kindle today. I wrote this one a month and a bit ago and is around the 10,000 word mark. I was pretty happy with this story in the end, took me a while for me to get a feel for it and it took a few twists and turns before I was satisfied with the story line but I think it worked in the end.

I am still working on my latest story, up to 11,000 words now. Need to start thinking about how long exactly I want this one to go as at the rate it is moving it could get very long. Enjoying writing it though. Was amusing to read an article in New Scientist today relating to the research I did for the story.

Issuu

Saw a new publishing site, well not so much new as I hadn't heard of it, called Issuu. Seems to be primarily magazine oriented but thought I might give it a go.
Scribd seems okay, will give it some time before I upload anything else though.
Sent one of my short stories off to a magazine, will wait and see how that goes.
Also put a new story up on Kindle, still publishing at the moment so will put the link up when it has finished.
Story I am currently writing is going well, over 9000 words now, looking like it will be a long one.
