That brings me up to six, currently. Love how the novel is coming. And–I think I mentioned that I am now fiction editor for Edge Press–I have my author, Ryan Oakley’s, rewrites as of today, and so will be putting most things aside for a bit to get him some feedback.
Okay, tomorrow I babysit my grandson, so I won’t put that aside. Boy, days sure are full!
…were both awesome! Since returning home, I have built an art studio in the basement (and cleaned the basement) and yesterday sent off 2 stories. Today I go back to my novel — I’m really excited!!
That gives me a total of 5 out circulating right now, and I hope to do another one this afternoon. Gotta keep ’em out there!
Of course, I wanted to re-read the whole novel one more time just to be sure the whole thing flowed and was the best it could possibly be, but that’s done and it is submitted. I think I will take the month of November to focus on short fiction, which I have been seriously neglecting. As we speak, I only have 2 stories in the mail, but 2 brand-new fresh ones I want to send out, and a couple of others I think could be ready with a bit of polishing.
Which, of course, is the whole point of the weekend. I was able to approach Jim Minz and remind him of a favorable rejection he gave me on a previous novel and he invited me to submit my new novel to Baen, which I will do post-haste. Wish me luck, everyone!

P.S. My reading from “The Director’s Cut” from Tesseracts Fourteen at the Edge Launch went very well; we also had readings from Jemma, Rigor Amortis and Evolve. And, there was chocolate!
