In which I apologize....

I'm sorry that I haven't had a chance to catch on my flists' posts, and it will be a couple of days until I do so. I hope exotically fascinating things are happening in your lives....without my watching. ;o)

Various notes, and a time table:

1) I did sell a story while there, to the Wolfsongs Anthology.

I'm particularly pleased to sell this story, because I actually trunked the story about a year ago after 4 rejections. Something didn't work, and I knew it. When I read the guidelines for the anthology (edited by the wonderful [livejournal.com profile] shadowhelm) I thought "Hmmm, 'The Bear Girl' would fit right in...."

I dragged the story out of the trunk and tried to figure out how to fix the plot-line problem...and finally got it right. It required quite a bit of rewriting to get the structure how I wanted it, so I'm really pleased it was accepted. ;o)

2) I have disgusting con crud augmented by clogged ears. I'm in a fishbowl with Snap Crackle and Pop. It's annoying.

3) I will post about the WOTF workshop over the next few days, not in a chronological order, but a topical one. I think that my posts will be:
a)Travel and Lodging
b)Meeting People
c)The 24-hour Story

4) This week I received payment from WOTF, Fantasy Magazine, and Beneath Ceaseless Skies, which means I'm depositing $1111 in my bank account tomorrow. This number seems auspicious to me. ;o)

1. Nice!
2. Blech. Cold-eeze drops, clear fluids, and sleep.
3. Can't wait.
4. Whoa! You're the woman!
