into the final edit

Well I got great feedback from my beta readers. The big problem with the story seems to be around POV - Point Of View. it is also too long for a short story, but is within the length limit for the Writers of the Future contest, so i am going to send it there. My goal is to have it finished by next Wednesday. I have also been listening to Tee
Morris' podcast Podcasting for Dummies and I have been thinking that this would be a great story to do as a podcast. Sometimes late at night I wake up and wonder of print is dead. Words are not dead, but is the traditional book dead?

Ozymandias' Spirit out to beta readers

Well the story is done and came in at about 11,000 words! I have sent it out to 4 beta readers and now I am awaiting their feedback. I want to send this in to the Writers of the Future Contest for July 1. I do not know if writers call use the term "beta reader" but the term works. I guess it is bleedover from the Software world I make my living in. Now I have to get working on my next story.

Osymandias' Spirit

Well it is done. 10975 words and it is ready for the edit. I have been working on it so I could have a week of editing on it before I send it to the beta readers. Wow I am tired.
