Congratulations! I didn't know about Daily Science Fiction, now I am intrigued.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Would anyone have the time to read a seven page essay?
It's sparse, I'm interested in knowing what ideas I should expand on. If anyone has time/interest, allyson.beatrice @ gmail.
And thanks!
