Much Writing Related Program Activities (WRPA) last week—sending some follow-up correspondence, updating the database, getting some mss back into circulation, updating the website—and a smattering of actual writer-type work.
The real work took a three forms. First, a quick edit of “None So Blind,” to bring it a little more into line with current events, making it (I hope) more marketable. Second, a quick edit of “Wet Work: A Tale of the Unseen,” which, as I believe I’ve mentioned, I just sold to Intergalactic Medicine Show. And third, reviewing a rewrite request on From Earth I Have Arisen, with extensive notes.
Huh. When you list it like that, it looks like I was really busy. Who knew?
To be sure, that rewrite request involves a great deal of work, and I was hoping to delve into a different rewrite project—Apocalypse Pictures Presents. But you know, From Earth is in the same continuity as Apocalypse Pictures Presents, so getting one of them squared away might help with the other.
So that’s one more thing to add to the agenda. And hey, it beats the hell out of a rejection.
Write Club updates: The sale to IGMS took just over two months. The rewrite request, almost three months.
Gotta motor.
