La Vie Boheme

Get me, I'm writin' science fiction!

I think the notes I made yesterday are actually helping out with "Computer Dating". I blew through a couple of scenes today, and I'm finally getting into the heart of the story. It's just over 2000 words long so far. At this rate, I'm thinking it'll be about 4,000-5,000 words long, making it shorter than the other stories I've done lately -- well, except for "All the Lonely People". Heh. I've had one person read it so far. The response was "strange, very strange". I don't think he liked it very much. :) All I need to do now is find a market for a very short, very strange little story.

I was startled to realize this morning that "Computer Dating" is, in fact, sci-fi rather than the fantasy I normally write. That's kinda cool. I never really thought of myself as a science fiction writer before. Of course, this also means that I'm going to be doing some research over the next couple days, just to make sure that I've got all the technical stuff straight. (This would be why I don't write science fiction -- too much research!)
