Hey Brad,
Thanks for your kind words, and for taking the time to read and comment on
my story. No, it's not a part of a larger project, just a story that has
been sitting in my 'unpublished' folder with about 20 others. It was the
result of a writing prompt from another writing group I used to belong
to--write a story, poem or essay about a group of people. I wrote several
versions--in the first the cops showed up to arrest the Danny ccharacter,
but that didn't feel right to me. So I took another stab at it, and then
another and another. My plan was to get it (and other) stories published in
top-tier literary mags, build my resume and make myself look better to
prospective agents and/or small publishers. A good plan that just hasn't
panned out for me. In retrospect, the story is probably too slow, and the
conflict doesn't arise until about three-quarters of the way through.
Anyway, thanks again for reading.
