For those who have read my stories on the Healer and the Retirement (from space) would you suggest I keep it up and look for someone to publish the occasional short story, or should I spend my excess time elsewhere? I have one other story written and one drafted in my head, and could probably write more.
This is the time for the honest opinion, not the friendly encouragement.
Look for someone who is willing to publish you. And don’t give up. If all else fails, check out “The Writer’s Market” at the library to get addresses.
You’re good.
I think you have a real gift for dialogue, but are not quite as strong on holding the narrative together so that one isn’t saying, “Now who was that? What’s going on again?” This could be a function of the UT serialization, of course, that wouldn’t be a problem in a printed text.
I enjoyed your Healer story very much. I do love to read, and reading your work is a joy.
