So, my beta readers now have the novel, so it’s back to short fiction. I have a piece completed for the workshop with Walter Jon Williams this summer that needs a last read through before submitting prior to the end of the month. Then I want to submit to a couple of markets I have my eye on. That should keep me busy until my beta readers come back with revision suggestions for the novel.
Congratulations to Aurora nominees!
To all of you–right on! But especially to the wonderful writers and artists I like to count among my friends – Rob Sawyer, Al Onia, Hayden Trenholm, Mike Gillett, Dan O’Driscoll, Brian Hades, Diane Walton! Interesting, only one woman on this list–maybe I have more male friends than female?
Submitted a novel
To Turnstone Press, in Winnipeg. Wish me luck!
Edits going well
I wanted to round out one element with a subplot which will bring the novel up to 90,000. However, once I really get into revision, that may go shorter–or longer–but not by much.
Novel Done!
It’s only 80,000 words, and I have some ideas for a bit of expansion in the revision.
