Thanks for the good word.  I await your review.

I submitted the story to Bewildering Stories and believe they will publish it.

Subject: [Stylist] Projects I am working on

Good evening, list.  

 

As I prepare to leave for the weekend to attend the NFB state convention in Florida, I thought I would discuss a couple writing projects I am working on.  

 

A few weeks back Shawn Jacobson submitted to the list a draft of his story "The Man Who Could Only Be Human."  I have been working on a critique and commentary on it, which is not yet complete.  I hope to finish it shortly after returning from the state convention.  I like the thrust of it, and it appeals to me because it plays to topics we are both knowledgable of and interested in.  

 

My other project is a story I have begun about tactile graphics that has about a thousand words of concept already.  It is a field I am interested in possibly working on bringing to greater fruition.  The main character is a man named Roy G. Biv, the letters that help us remember the colors of the rainbow.  Roy has lost his vision, and is working with a researcher who is involved in developing computer technology that will allow the blind to feel images displayed on the screen visually.  The researcher's last name is Mesa, because  the tactile display unit will probably have to be a table top device, mesa being a word for table in Spanish.  The story also treats aspect of coping with blindness and some relationship drama.  

 

That's what I have for today.
