The Linesman

February 23, 2010 03 AM | postcard fiction, stamp fiction
I've been away from writing any new fiction for a while — trying to promote Finitude and produce the DIY Book podcast — so I'm starting small, practicing, gearing up to write another novel. This page contains that practice: short stories sometimes referred to as "postcard fiction". In fact, some of them will be so short I'm going to call them "stamp fiction".
