The story is called "Keep Thinking, Keep Moving" by the way. It's about a college professor who just retired and his prospects for life in the future. All under 1000 words! I'm ready to call it a masterpiece, but it's past midnight and I need sleepy. So 'masterpiece' is probably excessive.
One thing I'm interested to hear is how people perceive work I did in a 'flash.' As I stated in a post this summer, I think the some of the criticisms I received for my work at the Trinity Arts Conference were due to overwriting. I kept going back and adding more detail. It bogged my story down. That certainly didn't happen with "Keep Thinking, Keep Moving." There wasn't time. I think I might try to read it tomorrow morning and post my opinion of it once I have a little distance from it.

Jolly good. If you want other people's unprofessional eyes on it, I volunteer.
Unprofessional eyes are the best kind. I'll send it to you. Just promise me one thing: if you think it stinks don't think of me as 'the guy who writes crappy stories.'
How can I get it to you? I don't think I have your e-mail addy.
Let's do the who thing over the comments section.
Not really.
On the sidebar at my blog is an "e-mail me" feature. And a hug waiting for you there.
I'm excited. About the story.
OK, and the hug.
