Striking Challenge

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM!

Today, I’m posting on Fatal Foodies, as I always do on Tuesdays.

I’m also throwing my hat into the ring in pursuit of a Hugo award for best science fiction or fantasy story written in 2012. Mind you, I haven’t written any yet. But I’m working on one. This one is science fiction, and takes place in the future. I have the topic sentence and I’ve started it, which means it’s time to stop and bash out a general outline. I hate that part.

I’m going internet-dark tomorrow in protest against the SOPA and PIPA proposed in Congress. Here are information and arguments on both sides, provided on Wikipedia.

WRITING PROMPT: Open a book at random and pick a sentence. Beginning with that, outline a story.

About

I was born in Louisville, Kentucky, but now live in the woods in southern Indiana. Though I only write fiction, I love to read non-fiction. The more I learn about this world, the more fantastic I see it is.

    Coming up with a setting and a few opening lines is truly the easy part. Then, it’s just time to grind it out and finally start outlining the whole process.

    Good luck…
