In just the past week, May 9th, 1999 was rejected by Strange Horizons; Crow Spirit was rejected by Chiaroscuro; and Dream Child was rejected by Interzone. Yesterday I submitted May 9th, 1999 to Orson Scott Card’s Intergalactic Medicine Show. Today I’m mailing out Dream Child to L. Ron Hubbard’s Writers of the Future Contest and The Albino to Black Static.

Plots and plans for a less personal, more community-based readers and writers website are spiraling in my head, waiting to come rushing out onto the web. Thoughts, suggestions, and comments on that are also welcome.

On the lines of my OAC application, the committee meeting to discuss fiction submissions is on December 14th.

For NaNoWriMo, I’m at 9007 words and spent today writing other things. I like the fantasy story I’m working on, but it’s about to hit the major climax already. I really like two of the fairy characters I’ve created, but I don’t care all that much about the goblins. They are suffering from being the boring honorable heroes.

I’ve found a handful of new markets, contests and anthologies, so ideas are flowing. Right now I’m working on picking flash fiction pieces to submit to The Pedestal.

I was going to post excerpts of my novel weekly, but as it’s quickly turning into a short story and I’ve already missed two weeks… Might post a little taste on Monday.
