Tales from the Great Crusade: A Thorn Among Roses
It’s been a while between updates, so apologies for that. Still trying to find the time to work on the holiday photos (they need a fair bit of cleaning up in Photoshop unfortunately, damn underwater being so blue!), but in the meantime I figured I would post the link to my story A Thorn Among Roses, my entry in the Tales from the Great Crusade 1000-word short story contest judged by Aaron Dembski-Bowden.
Unfortunately, I came up short in the contest, but I’m still ultra proud of the story itself. I feel it was an important stepping-stone to get into a professional mindset when it comes to writing. I’m including the link to the forum thread the story was posted in rather than reposting it myself, as I am still hopeful it will wind up in the Great Crusade’s published anthology. If you follow the link it’s the second story down.
Feel free to drop me some feedback as always, it is very much appreciated.
Cheers,
Tim
Tales from the Great Crusade
Been a while, busy with work and the novel unfortunately, so not much time for ‘fun’ writing.
Anyhoo, the writing competition I entered into a few months back (Tales from the Great Crusade) is drawing to a close, with my story due to be publicly posted in the next couple of days. The stories themselves are being judged by Black Library author and cat hater, Aaron Dembski-Bowden, which is an absolutely HUGE honour for everyone involved.
If anyone is interested, keep an eye on that thread at the Great Crusade forums (great place, incidentally, if you are interested at all in Warhammer 40k) and wish me luck, as the winners are getting published and that would be a huge boon in my quest to become a sci-fi rock star!
