Been sick all week(since Mondary
April 29th 2002 at 8:23 pm
Been sick all week(since Mondary night)! Yech. Some throat infection. Down for the count. Still icky feeling right now, hard to stay focused. So I didn’t get -any- writing done, spent a lot of time asleep, or watching 10 minute snips of TV all week long as I fell in and out stupor.
So finishing this […]

I’m keeping busy. Did some more work on one story, had another critiqued at my Cleveland Writers Group. Another nugget of interesting news is that Fictionwise.com is featuring my story ‘Spurn Babylon’ (originally published in Nalo Hopkinson’s anthology of Caribbean Fantastic Fiction ‘whispers from the cotton tree root’) as a free download:
Spurn Babylon at […]

Well, the super-awesome-great news of the day is that I have two nominations to report. One is that I’ve been nominated for the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer. The second is that Dave Truesdale and I have been nominated for the Best Website Special Award Hugo.
Needless to say I’m extremely excited. I’m […]
Rejections from Analog, and Spectrum
April 15th 2002 at 10:23 pm
Rejections from Analog, and Spectrum SF. I’m having a slower year of rejections than usual (14 so far I think). I’m a little bit more sloppy with sending things out. I need to fix that, but I’ve been so focused on the novel (which I’m expecting to finish May 15th) I’ve let that slip. Ah […]

I am so very sore. I have returned to the world of exercise. I was using the recumbant bike we bought for a while to ease back in, get some cardio going. Now I’m starting to work on the old muscles, which haven’t gotten seriously pounded in almost 2 years now. Pushups, dips, and crunches […]
I am really working hard
April 8th 2002 at 6:14 pm
I am really working hard on the novel, taking only Friday off, but spending time on it Saturday and Sunday. Today started with a rejection in the old mailbox, from Descant, meaning I only have 12 stories out. I need to set up another round of mailings, because I have a couple good ones sitting […]
I finished Part II of Crystal Rain
April 4th 2002 at 4:47 pm
I finished Part II of Crystal Rain last night. Last scene, all wrapped up and tidy. Then I turned to outlining and detailing Part III, which took the rest of the time I had laid aside for last night’s writing. I really have to say that Omnioutliner has been worth its weight in gold for […]

Happy April 1st. Got a rejection from On Spec (they did _not_ like this story judging by comments). That is about it. Still slugging away on the novel, though I skipped a few days due to all the driving around for Easter to visit family. I have a laptop, I was just a bit […]
