Try Try Again
I've decided that trying to get Superego submitted to Baen's new magazine (now called Baen's Universe) is a worthwhile endeavor, so I went over the whole story again and reedited it. It's posted in Baen's Bar in the Baen's Universe Slush section and the place for comments is in the Baen's Universe Slush Comments. The beginning (especially the opening paragraph) has been reworked the most, and, if you've never checked out the story before, I'd really appreciate just critiquing the beginning (I'm afraid the story doesn't really grab the reader until the attack at the cafe). As for the epilogue, I never did finish it as it ended up being very wordy and complicated. I'll get back to it sometime, as I just recently watched Profit which was a show told from the viewpoint of a sociopath and as inspired me to think of a sequel (which the epilogue is essential for). If I write one, that will be next year. Currently, I'm working on full novel while getting together the first In My World™ compilation (Ooh! I should show you the cover art). And, if everyone is good, I'll still write you some funny. But, I've got novelist fever, and the only prescription is BTW, what's posted in Baen's Bar is what I consider the official version of Superego (and it has many less grammatical errors). 8 Responses To "Try Try Again"
I loved Profit. I was heartbroken, well dissapointed anyway, when they canceled it. #1 - Posted by: spacemonkey on November 17, 2005 10:32 AMAnd no, I'm not going to leave a bank over something they have no control over. I'm going to leave because they are a bunch of arrogant pricks when I call about basic questions. #2 - Posted by: Mike Hartovich on November 17, 2005 11:55 AMYea!!! Les grmaticall erors! #3 - Posted by: Amer-I-Can on November 17, 2005 01:36 PMUmmm, I would have tried for many fewer grammatical errors, but that's probably just me. So basically, you're going to get all full of yourself and not write what comes naturally for the epilogue...to busy...blah,blah,blah...IMW compilation (which would/will rock BTW!!!)...blah,blah,blah...SarahK is pretty...Blah,Blah,Blah...BULL!!!!!!!...write it, as is, your work, it will sell...or at least be worth writing. If you sell out, only the busblog will be worth an occasional check (ok...Raymi Rocks too...the little buzznet brown-nose/follower of the great Tony P.) Stay an artist please, and deliver the promise of the 'blog'. Do not get full of yourself and aspire to greater than what you are, which is, one of the best of the best...let it flow Frank and set the blogs free. PS: Swears were ommited out of pure fear. Write Frank, Write. #5 - Posted by: Bubba on November 18, 2005 01:35 AMMay your novel be to books what Low Rider is to cowbell. #6 - Posted by: McWert Deglieb on November 18, 2005 04:04 AMBubba, i've read the prologue of the novel. the prologue's awesome, the novel will be too. #7 - Posted by: sarahk on November 18, 2005 08:10 AMFewer, not less, grammatical errors, Frank J. Unless that was a joke, in which case HA! #8 - Posted by: random m on November 19, 2005 03:01 PMPost a comment
