It’s the weekend and it’s raining.  Finally!  I fixed the leaking roof last month and have been waiting all this time to see if the repairs had actually worked.  So far so good though. . .

Like most writers, I have a few projects on the go.  I have a story I am currently pedaling around the science fiction short story market.  I have another one that needs a final edit before it is also out the door.  I have a novella in the final stages before handing it into the team leader of the project.  I have a novel sitting there, waiting for attention, but not having received any in the last few years.

And then I have my fan fiction, and it is probably the writing I enjoy the most.  It doesn’t earn me any money, but it is set in the universe of the computer game ‘Elite’, a world I am, embarrassed to say, very familiar with.  There are a group of us who work together on a single story, taking turns to write parts from the point of view of our own characters.  Some of  the faithful readers then compile the stories where they are posted and make snazzy looking pdf’s.  They can be found at http://www.frontierastro.co.uk/FEU/feu.html.

It isn’t my flashiest writing, but it flows easily and after slogging it out on a hard story, its nice to relax and just put out a small chapter of fan fiction.  Check it out if you are into grand adventure in science fiction.
