By Brendan Leber?

[livejournal.com profile] jerichobrown is trying to convince me to write a short story. I have toyed with the idea from time to time but I haven't since I always hear about how the market is flooded. Well after his prodding I agreed to post a few things I had written for him to review. Maybe I will write a short story or two and see if I can get published.

Of course the big problem is coming up with an idea...

1. Take a cool technological or scientific idea.
2. Imagine a character with a problem.
3. Throw them at each other.
4. If you have an idea, then write. Otherwise,
5. Go to step 1.

Oh, sure... Make it sound so easy! ;)

Seriously though, thanks! I'll give that a shot.

Well, you might notice that this "algorithm" is technically not an algorithm, as it has no guarantee of ever completing...
