Guess I won't know until I write it. The standalone short story is influenced by my reading of hardboiled fiction. It requires considerable rewriting. I'm focusing on my father's stories more than on my as-yet non-existent ones. Thank you for the best wishes, Yvette.Prashant C.

I could send you my manuscript as a cure for insomnia and there won't be any side effects! I hope the flash fiction does not amount to a flash in the pan.Prashant C.

As for the darker grittier paragraphs you posted, I have no comment since they seem very dark to me and I don't go there. :) I also like the idea of trying to publish your father's stories. Very much good luck to you, Prashant. :)Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1169151311037688512.post-88693143783404994292014-05-30T02:50:11.102-07:002014-05-30T02:50:11.102-07:00Like the idea of the Indian cowboy!
