Pulp Fiction
Besides editing my next book, Coins of Destiny I - AL, I’ve started posting my play through of Colostle, a solo RPG.
Now, I’ve started writing a pulp fiction short story. No, not a story based on the movie, but an actual pulp story. The primary characteristics of pulp are fast-paced (action-driven), no real exposition or introspection, and characterization is done mostly through dialog. Finally, pulp writing elicits an emotional response. Pulp has no deep messages. It is all story.
I guess, some of my novels might be considered “pulp”, but I never set out to write them as such. Now, I’m trying to write pulp intentionally. I’m thinking I’ll submit it to this year’s Creatures, Crimes, and Creativity anthology.
I am also planning book three of Coins of Destiny. I’m busy, but it doesn’t seem like I’m being productive, although I’m accomplishing a lot.
Anyway, I’m having fun.
