Rereading through “Grandfather Paradox,” I think the timeline needs a bit of a twist. I think it’s a bit too linear for this particular tale. And I still think it’s an Analog story, although that’s really Dr. Schmidt’s call and not...

I was out at the ROF slush page, and was very pleased to see Sallya. Yay! I’ve been trying not to go and stare until my head explodes, but it’s very reassuring to think that Sallya is really there, and in Carina’s hot little hands. There are...

…I think this story is an Analog story. Yes, I know I said that about “Corporate Oversight” and Dr. Schmidt proved me wrong, but this time I really mean it. Not the nightmare story. “Grandfather Paradox.” The nightmare story is not loving...

Script printed out and bound in #5 Acco brads with cardstock covers as per script custom and Austin Heart of Film rules. I picked a tasteful speckled grey cardstock, for those who care. Now I need to write a two sentence synopsis. Oh, the evil! I loathe summaries!...

The script is much improved, thanks to the divine Misha. It is, however, still a bit short. I plan to write more this weekend and go over the script format with Cole/Haag. I have a week, and am confident that I’ll finish and have it in the mail by then. I took...

I’m pretty sure the first draft is finished–I’ve tied up the pressing loose ends–but it’s short. I’ve sent it to my friend Misha for comments, because she is a generous, rocking kind of person and volunteered. I’m pretty sure...

Why, no, I haven’t been clicking the Alien Skin site all day waiting for my story to be there. Nor did I go there on my Treo to check while we were out. Why do you ask?

I had a bit of an air-conditioning-related setback. Okay, I really think I had mid-project blues. Anyway, I’ve been behind on my page counts for a few days, but I just did five and feel back on track. That’s what matters, right? I’m really feeling...
