Back From The Wasteland
It's been nearly two months since I updated this blog, and somebody might be wondering what's happened since then. Since I, at least, am, why don't we find out...
Well, JWP rejected my rewrite, two pieces of flash got rejected by From The Asylum (although I wasn't surprised by that, I was only using them as a stopgap while I waited for flashshot to re-open, which they now have and are currently sitting on the same two pieces). Still nothing from Hub Mag, which is getting old (ten weeks and "a few weeks" don't seem synonymous to me. It's ten weeks exactly tomorrow, so if still nothing I'll email them then)
In terms of new stuff written... I'm a horrible person. I've 80% written one entirely new story in illegible handscrawl, and I've semi-edited a piece of S&S entitled Vespin and the Nevosa, although everything from the title to the plot, passing through all stations on the Language-Grammar branch line, need an overhaul before even I can sit through it. Anthology story is coming along (the rough draft is starting to look a little more polished and I'm off to buff it up once I'm done here). I also found one story I part-wrote a few months ago which needs an ending and a spell check ASAP, which at this rate means by the thirty-third of never.
Back from the wasteland with a lot to do, most of which (packing, making the laptop work, more packing, university reading) is pulling rank on the writing. But to set some goals:
1: anthology story, rewrite round one
2: give Playing with Fire an ending and a spellcheck
3: make Vespin readable
(If I set more than three they won't get done. Hopefully I can do all that by Thursday evening)

You've got lots of company on the waiting-for-a-response-from-Hub front, so if you do query them and get a reply, be sure to pass on any useful info over in the Den.
