Some (well, one, soon to be more) of my stories available in a new blog

I'll be posting pieces of flash fiction at irregular intervals on a new blog, dryastheremainderbiscuit.blogspot.com. There's a story up now, in fact! (Comments are disabled for now, but I'd be happy to hear from you in an email what you like or what could be improved. It's not a crit site, it's a sharing site, but I'm happy for any feedback that helps me improve — or lets me feel good about my writing!)

Cool! Maybe you could ask someone with a paid Live Journal account to create an RSS feed for this blog? That way those on LJ can add it to their friends page.

Shamefully, I'm still fuzzy on how RSS works on a day-to-day basis (I'm not interested in the OSI seven-layer-model version, but I know I *should* be more familiar with RSS than I am). But I'll...um...find out.

Very beautifully written Laura. Sad, but beautiful. I especially liked his reflection in the shield. Really cool.

Nice ending twist. And you're not the only one fuzzy about RSS. Every time I try it defeats me.

I'm following your motley coat on LJ via an RSS feed so at some point someone must have set that up for you... I vaguely remember someone asking for it to be done (cassaclyzm?) but can't find when and where it happened...

Me like. I sense a roast pig series of stories in you, and demand them. :)

Doesn't this count as "publication", since it isn't behind any passwords, or whatever, and therefore count it out of a lot of markets you should be SENDING YOUR STORIES TO?

Just curious. I'll never knock back the chance to read your stuff, and I always enjoy it.

Thanks, all, for the feedback! Don't know when I'll post the next one, but I'll definitely keep going with it.

It's a loss-leader, Chris. A way to make more of my stuff available -- but not the big-ticket items like, oh, novels. It's an investment in buzz! And buzz may sell books someday!

I think the roast-pig thing has much to do with the fact that I read Lord of the Flies at rather too early an age....

Nice :-) me likee.

flash fiction is great for the free publicity, because let's face it, you'll never make much money from it.
