This might be a useful story if you're doing something with and need to understand magic realism.

I'm not sure I'd attempt the genre myself, steeped as it is in Hispanic culture, but isn't that a great story?

Artifical brains?
It's not doing any thinking of its own, but this artificial brain might help with the treatment of Alzheimer's. Or, for that matter, it might start thinking on its own...
(I think there's a horror story hiding in there somewhere).

I sometimes think that the more we study, the more we realize life is both simpler and more complex than we imagined.

I'm going to share...
The most useful writing tip ever. Bar none. Something that will help more than any rules about punctuation or adverb use or dialog.
Read it out loud.
Everything you write, every time, before you send it anywhere. It makes a huge difference. Trust me.

The Silence on COSMOS
The Silence is now posted on the Cosmos web site.
It's right here. http://www.cosmosmagazine.com/fiction/3722/the-silence
Once more, I love their art...whoever selects the pictures that go with their stories has quite the knack. The site is also worth checking out for its popular science.
So, there's today's offering. Enjoy!

Mea culpa
I am a bad blogger.
I am a very bad blogger.
I do have some excuses...busy, dealing with noisy construction work. Sold my second story to Cosmos Online this week, too. Submitting like crazy. Wrote a short story last week, aiming for two this week (got the first one drafted, second one is slated for likely Thursday). WILL finish another novel soon, if I can get a breather between the short story CFSs. Is that the correct plural.
I know I promised something special, but I don't have it ready yet. It will come. And I'm going to try and make myself post at least once a week.
