ME: Mind Blown!
Winner of the Journey Into Writing Contest
About two and a half years ago, I wrote a speculative fiction story for a podcast contest. The contest rules were simple: the title must include "Journey Into," the genre should be spec fic (science fiction, fantasy, and/or horror), and there had to be a journey of some kind within the story.
For the contest, I wanted to write a science fiction story involving isolation either on or near the moon. I brainstormed ways to incorporate a moon colony. Eventually, I decided to set the story on a space station near Earth connected by a 350,000 km bridge to a moon space station. From there, the ideas flowed and I completed Journey Into the Dying Light of Stars.
Host Marshal Latham of the Journey Into podcast has apologized for the delay in running the contest winners on his podcast, but this is a hobby for him. He has a day job and a family, and the wait to hear my story as a podcast episode didn't bother me. Now that the episode is live, I'm very pleased with the end result.
