heya writers, just thought I'd remind you that we still have slots available for the 1000 Word Herd Competition. It's a lot of fun, you might win, and you'd help a charity. registrations are open; hope you can join in.

My Favorite Human - Small Wonders
I observe a tremor in his hand, a thin film of perspiration upon his brow. Based on anomalies in his vital signs and recent analysis of his outputs, I know Alexβs system is failing.

As so many of us NYCM writers do, I live in fear of being assigned the dreaded Political Satire genre... but I had a ton of fun with it for R2 of the NYCM Short Story contest, and my silly magazine article spoof managed to come in 3rd! This means that I'll be writing in R3 this weekend :)
