Clearly, the short story I submitted to Shapers of Worlds Volume II was accepted–because I got paid! Yay!
Also, I got some good news I can’t share yet. Watch for an upcoming post!
Short Story Sale…I Think?
The kickstarter for Ed Willett’s Shapers of Worlds antho funded, so I (presumably) have a short story sale there. Of course, he can still reject my story, but my name is on the cover of the book, so hopefully not! It’s got a great TOC–people I’ll be thrilled to be listed with! Garth Nix, Kelly Armstrong, Steve Stirling, Matt Hughes, Barbara Hambly, Nancy Kress, David Levine and Carrie Vaughan, to name a few.
Calgary Young Writers’ Conference
This was a week of editing and organizing a writing retreat for my group (via Zoom), and today I presented at the Calgary Young Writers’ Conference. I love that conference: kids in grades 5-9 give up their Saturday to attend, and they are a dream class: they love writing! But three days this week were a ski holiday (at the local resort) for my wedding anniversary.
Editing like mad all week.
Had a great client meeting (via Zoom) and he likes my work, so I’m glad I can be helpful! It’s always good to know your work is appreciated.
Back to the novel
Finished with an editing client, and got two mentees well on their way, and got a bit more done on my novel (4300 words, bringing me to 42K) and I have a few more days I can devote to it before I have more commitments. My goal is to get to the 50% mark by the end of this week.
