Currently I'm having fun writing dialog between a policewoman and a talking cat.

Trust me; it'll all make sense.

Gud, tommyrot, and t-, insent.

I try to get to what I can. My weekend has started to fill alarmingly. My grandfather's health has taken a big dip so I'll be making a visit, my FIL's computer has crashed so I need to take a look at that, and I might need to work some too. Is there a time you need feedback by?

I was hoping to finish editing my short story this weekend too, but now I'm starting to think that'll have to wait.

do what you can, Gud - I can work on other things next week, so even if you can't get back to this weekend, I'd love your thoughts.

I've managed to do a bit of editing and 'Sarah' is closing in on getting done. It's also getting long at just a hair under 7,500 words. Already it's too big for a lot of markets. Ah well, I don't think I can make it significantly shorter.

Send me a copy, Gud.

Insent, along with some comments for 'Standards'. Hopefully they are coherent, I was reading with a headache after I got clocked by the hatch on my car. Stupid failing hatchback strut mounts.

I think Sarah is ready for a final edit. I need to get that story wrapped up. My query letter is now customized for the first agency I'll query.

Now if work will settle down, family members won't need computer help, and I get the taxes done I'll be able to get the new novel rolling.

Go, Gud! You're querying agents first?

I'm not that familiar with SF/fantasy imprints, in terms of who might take unsolicited submissions. Tor *might*, but I'm not sure.

I did find this about Tor.com while looking for stuff about print submissions.

And, you know, completely procrastinating on the stuff I'm supposed to be writing.

Hey, I was right! Tor/Forge does take unagented submissions, although it all falls under the Tom Doherty umbrella in that FAQ.
