So, all the grant applications seem to have deadlines of January 31. What does that mean? It means, stop writing for a bit and apply! I guess getting a grant is a long shot, but hey, you definitely don’t get one if you don’t apply. It’s a kind of writing, right?
I am eligible for an Aurora Award
Although I had seven sales this year, only one short story is eligible for the 2012 Aurora Award. Some don’t come out until this year, one is a reprint, and one is a contest winner, and therefore, ineligble. However, “Turning It Off,” (Analog, December, 2011) is eligible. You can read it here, and you can nominate me for the award here. There is a $10 fee to register for nominations, though.
Wish me luck!
Latest Edge Novel done
One more check over for nits, and then I send it in to Edge!
Almost finished edits for latest Edge novel
I am really enjoying the work I do for Edge. This novel, in particular, has been a real delight to work on. Two more chapters, a quick re-read of the whole thing, and I think it will be ready to go.
Short Story Collection!
I’ve signed with Five Rivers Chapmanry to put out a short story collection of nine of my past stories from Analog, Asimov’s, OnSpec, Tesseracts and AESF Review, plus three new stores. Very exciting!
