Jen found much to fix in the time dilation story. Curses, foiled again! 🙂 As far as I can tell the biggest problem is the technology level in the story not being unclear. Well, okay, probably a better way to phrase it would be unclarity in general, which is often my...Misha rocks! and other random tales
I just incorporated Misha’s comments into “Women’s Work.” Misha rocks. 🙂 In other news, I think my Palm III is dead. Yes, I know I always say that, but this time I mean it. Switching it on produces a flashing effect followed by a black screen...Short story update
I sent “Varmints” out to what I thought was a gloriously inappropriate market with a quick turnaround, and yet they have not seen fit to reject me yet. Which goes to show what I know. 😉 I’m trying to decide if “Women’s Work” is...Second and third opinions…

Well, as far as words written, it’s probably not that impressive, but last night I made a lot of progress on the time dilation story. Math, physics, and characterization progress:I decided the ship was going too fast. I picked a destination, which gave me...Curses! Foiled Again!
I got a lovely mail-merged rejection note from F&SF. I was under the impression most places used preprinted sheets of paper: “Dear writer, thank you for thinking of us but we cannot use this material at this time. –Editor.” The body of the letter...New Year’s Resolutions
