Any Daily Science Fiction subscribers around here? I sold a short story to them that's going out by email on Monday. It'll be free on the website a week later. At some point, I'll work up the moxy to post that in press.
I fed off a flowerperson, and I spent the next six hours watchin' my hand move.

Congratulations! I didn't know about Daily Science Fiction, now I am intrigued.

It's a lot of fun getting a story by email every day, and the site works well. I don't love all of the stories (I don't love _all_ of them in a lot of pubs), but I love enough that I look forward to seeing what's in the mailbag. The editors are good folks. Granted, I'm biased. They bought two stories of mine this spring/summer. The other will likely appear in/after November.
In other news, who is on Goodreads? I have Raq, Amy, & Barb already ...

My goal is to have Cog ready for querying by the end of October. That might be a bit ambitious,though.
I feel a lot better about querying this novel than the first one. Though, once again, I might be fighting its size which is nearly 90k at the moment. I have two scenes that I know I'm cutting for sure, but there are other places that might grow in revision. I guess I'll have to see where things stand after some more work. Generally editing should shrink it some.
