Call it a dry run for 2010, a new year for which I have a whole list of new things to try.
I entered Calista Taylor's Steampunk Romance Contest. I'd never even thought about writing a steampunk story before. And the only romance story I ever wrote was one I wrote without even knowing it. But Cali threw down the gauntlet and I picked it up.
My story along with six others have been posted as blind entries. Thus, I can't tell you which one's mine until the contest is over. The one with the most votes wins and Calista's taking them until January 18th at 8 am EST.
