I've been writing short, magazine-length technical articles for over 15 years. When writing these articles, I always knew what I was going to write before I started. Over the last few years I've had an urge to write some fiction, but could never get out of the gate with it. The old method of knowing what I was going to write before I started was a barrier because I could not think through a fictional story from start to finish.
A few months ago, with a basic premise in mind, I sat in the LazyBoy with my laptop and started banging away on a story that I had no idea where it was going or how it was going to end. As I got rolling, it started to take on a life of its own and before I knew it, I had created a 20,000 word science fiction/romance piece. It was a lot of fun to write, so it was done mostly for self-gratification, not knowing whether the final product would be of interest to anyone else but me.
After a lot of editing and polishing (with the help of others), I offer it to anyone here who might be interested. The basic premise is first contact between a human and an alien, and the relationship that develops between them. I will forewarn you that unless you like reading science fiction, enjoy romance and can relate to a dry sense of humor, it may not be worth your time. But if you think you'd like to take a look, please feel free to contact me via PM and I will send a pdf file to you. Of course, your feedback would be appreciated if you care to offer it.
Thanks for your time and consideration!
