I wrote five new stories at Clarion West. In order, they are:
Nature and Applicability of Incompleteness in Marketing and Domestic Contexts. Wooo!
Earth in the Future is Earth in the Past. I like this a lot, but it needs some quality rework.
Single Incident Study of Modern Training Programs Competing Against Genetic Doping in High School Athletics (aka “King”). Here’s Clarion for you: it’s hard to me to believe I wrote this, I like it so much.
Making a Killing. Near-future heist setup. Nice concept, needs connective tissue. Could be expanded into a book.
Marks. My try at fantasy. I don’t know what to think about it still.
And I rewrote Archipelago almost entirely in week one: the Word diff shows ~80% new, which doesn’t mean I at least rewrote the sentences and scenes as I went.
Is Marks ever going to see the light of day? I am moderately ashamed to admit that fantasy is a guilty pleasure of mine, so I would be curious to see it.
