Think of it as a homework assignment.  Some years back, when I was exchanging email with a Name agent I hoped to work with, he suggested a few books I might look at to improve my writing.  I clicked over to Amazon and ordered them, but as I read, I found them interesting, but not at all my style.  Still, as an exercise, I took one of the most interesting stories of the lot and attempted to write my story in that style.  Mix a 1930&#8217;s style with a 1950&#8217;s plot and the result is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.henrymelton.com\/0\/h92.html\">Far Exile<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Now, some of you will recognize the main character in a heartbeat, but the point of the exercise wasn&#8217;t using him in a new setting, but rather using some of the techniques, such as no internal dialog, and strictly limited sensory information.

At least in the sense of a visitor out of time.  <\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I never really attempted to submit this story to the magazines, but it at least deserves a little exposure, so please sit back and take a look.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The third in my set of time travel stories, as I prepare for my time travel novel Golden Girl, is a bit different.
