A funny thing happened last week: instead of making more novel notes, as I’d intended to do, I found myself following up on a few outstanding matters. Then I did a bit of database updating. And I figured while I was at it, I might as well see if I can find homes for some mss. Before I knew it, I had spent most of the week getting stories in circulation, with a touch of research thrown in, just for kicks.
I’m glad to get some stuff back in the world, but I also recognize avoidance behavior when I see it. See, I’m at a point where I need to declare a winner in the Potential Novel Project race. I had hoped that by this time, circumstances would have dictated which way I should go. But circumstances have persisted in being vague and noncommittal.
Darn those circumstances.
Anyway, I’m going to call it soon—definitely before I head to Launch Pad, which is (yikes!) next week.
In the meantime, some updates for Write Club:
Tier one bounce from Buzzy Mag. Response time, 6 days.
Tier two reject from Nightmare. Response time, 2 days.
And I officially gave up on a partial novel ms submission. I figure that going on three years is long enough, y’know?
Right. I’m out.
