Check out my new short story The Companion at Wattpad.

The Long Road Home

A brief flash fiction about two men going home after battle.

Never Look Back

I'm hoping this is just the beginning of a new productive period. I'm leaning toward short stories and flash fiction for right now, just because that seems to be where I am in my writing and what is fitting into my life. I hope you'll check out my story, "Never Look Back" at Wattpad.

Never Look Back--A Short Story by Shari Richardson

I figured it out...

So the struggle I was having earlier, I figured it out.

Trella wants to tell her own story, not have me tell it for her. I struggled through the beginnings of the first chapter because it was in third person. When I switched to first person, it rolled. Now I just need the folks at work to leave me alone long enough on my days off to actually write for the next two days.  Keep talking to me Trella. Your story is one I want to share!

I hate this part...

So I have what I know is a good idea. I have good characters...characters who are so anxious for me to tell their tale that they've invaded my dreams. I have a plot, a conflict, settings, all the ingredients. What I don't have is the ability to focus. I keep wandering around in the idea but I can't nail it down. I can't get the ideas to settle enough to be happy putting words on the screen.
This is a good story to be told. It's an old concept with new twists. The characters are superb. Why won't my brain focus?

Looking for Beta Readers for Banished Sun

I am looking for some folks willing to read Banished Sun and help me catch the errors and issues I can no longer see after having read and edited this book as many times as I have.

I would like to have readers willing to make notes and send the notes to me so I can look at the problem areas and make the appropriate changes.

If you are interested, email me at sharirichardson@astralplanepublishing.com. The book you receive will be in ePub format, so you'll need to have a program able to read it. iBooks works, Overdrive should work as well. I know Stanza isn't supported anymore, but if you still have it, it will work as well.

Thanks in advance.
