STORY #12 ON DAY #12…
Did a little more work on the office getting ready for Monday morning arrival of the Space Opera Craft Workshop taught be Kris. Going to be so much fun.
I also watched a little of playoff football games, but only the last one with the Commanders held me.
Recorded a workshop, quick nap, cooked dinner, then recored another weekly segment of a class.
I went to my writing computer about 10:15, grabbed my title sheet and saw a half title “Space Battle” so figured I would use that in honor of the Space Opera workshop starting here. Typed it in and then under the title I put “A Bryant Street Story”
Okay…. did a bit, took a nap, watched some television with Kris and about 12:30 am or so I got back to the story.
It has a Rod Serling type opening and is 1,500 words. “Space Battle: A Bryant Street Story.”
Even I am shaking my head at that . Creative voice is on the loose. Duck and cover.

Hi Dean,
I love your ideas, half-titles, and smashing them up.
I haven’t got enough magazines, but I did try it a music CD.
Going to work on it as my next project.
Have fun.
