Over the last few days, I was able to quickly write a short story, Fermi’s Pair of Ducks, edit it, have a friend at CUA look over it, re-edit it according to his comments, and polish it off.
The story didn’t exactly go as I planned when I first thought it out. There were aspects of discovery I wanted to have in it initially, but I didn’t know how to make it happen in such a short space. So I left some things a mystery — and it probably is the best, since the author should know more about the events in a story than what they write down.
Nonetheless, I submitted it to http://www.strangehorizons.comfor their magazine. Having an online place to submit short stories makes it easier than having to print it out and send it off. Now, I just hope it gets accepted.
Well if it doesn’t, there are plenty more online magazines
