I just submitted another story.<\/p>\n
This one is a prexisting story, redone for another anthology, but basically rebuilt from the ground up. One character entirely removed. Weapons mixes entirely redone. One entire new kind of weapon introduced.<\/p>\n
It was a very tight, word for word, read and edit redo of a story. And it made the story better. It also allowed me to do something I’ve been wanting to do for years. Bring in a gunsword. There were more of them in the past than most people realize. They used to be a whole thing rich officers or kings would have. You know. You want to stab someone AND shoot them. The problem is that most of them weren’t very good. Were one-shot. Stuff like that. But in 1866, there was a real life cartridge, double action, six barrel revolver on a sword. It was 9mm, but I finally tracked the thing down and realized I could use something like that in my stories. After 1866. I figured out how to make it work in my universe, and now I’ve got a story where effective use of a gunsword is made.<\/p>\n
That was fun to write.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
