Writing Until the End (reprint)

My story, “Writing Until the End,” is making its second appearance in Pulphouse Fiction Magazine, Issue #39

I sure do love it when a story of mine gets reprinted!

Why? Well, when more than one editor says “yes” to a story and then writes you a check to publish it, that has weight, especially with a story that is as weirdly personal as this one.

If you read “Writing Until the End” you won’t learn a ton about me, the “personal” part is the experience the protagonist is going through. I don’t want to give away anything, but when I wrote this story, I was experiencing the same thing the protagonist is, just not literally.

Okay, to say just a little bit about the story, it is about a writer and his relationship to the characters he has created. It asks the question (the one I was asking myself): what does a writer owe those characters?

Interested? Check out Pulphouse Fiction Magazine, Issue #39 or read my initial blog post when this story was published in Gilded Glass: Twisted Myths and Shattered Fairy Tales:
