That's a great cover! My hand would go irresistibly to pick up that book.
The Great Write Way, Act Three: Where's the gun?
A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
Awesome, Gud!
Book covers are exciting.
Gud - love the cover! I think steampunk may be my true love ....
... I may have just committed a sartorial battle between Agnieszka & Sarkan from Uprooted and Shoe & Fisk from Foreign Devils....
it was for a good cause? I think? oi.
Can a story still be noir if my character turns herself in?
I would say very much yes. Especially if it is internally driven - i.e. not save someone else but because she can't live with what she has done.
Or if someone even more evil forced her into it.
It's some of both, I think.Would love to get past stories that are "fine," but I know it wasn't that long ago, I may have used a different "F". Still, nobody goes out of their way to publish and reward "fine,"
Nothing in that which can't be *great* Noir, depending upon the story as a whole.
I'm proud of it, but, at the same time, there are so fewer markets now that I really need something unique, but apparently not the whole wheelchair thing(I've got one place that really wants that, but they pay diddley and squat, and I know the editor so that's like, I don't know, another friend doing me a favor...which is nice, but even I don't have time to befriend every magazine editor in America, and it also makes me feel that the work doesn't stand on its own. Which I know other writers do worry about, but other writers? Haven't gotten as much done for them by people trying to be nice, make them feel included, etc.
