No, it doesn't appear that WOTF24 is out today either, meaning that Borders had a bad date as well....(Amazon is still showing Sept 8). It would be nice to know when that anthology is going to be released. ::sighs::

Wrote 2.3K on the PB story yesterday, which appears likely to hit a gruesomely unmarketable 15-20K. ::sighs again::

Sorted out irises, packed some up to mail to a flister. Bagged some up for family members. Will probably re-plant the others tomorrow, along with some "Batik" and "Immortality" that I've picked up. Went to the park and Mr. Loki is now tired.

Lovely weather, though. Gotta like fall weather. ;o)

Everything I've heard second-hand from Galaxy Press seems to indicate a "sometime in October" release date - I think someone mentioned it on the Adventures in Sci Fi Publishing podcast, too.

Sigh.

I know the feeling about that 15-20K range. Meh. There are markets, but not many. I don't care anymore where the word count hits on shorts/novelettes. If they sell, great, if not, I put them aside to revise later. At least you have some good credits to your name already :)

We did some cleaning out of the garden. Discovered that we have lettuce coming up. And mice have infiltrated the chimney (they have the little u-shaped hole and everything). Trouble is brewing.

The book will be released when I say so.

It's the waiting that's the hardest part. It'll happen! I wish for now, too, though :)

The important thing: whenever it appears, you'll be in it. :)

Hope the day picks up for you...

Waiting sucks...but congrats on the progress, otherwise!

Last date I heard was "October 10", but I can't remember where I heard that. Just sent my Q1 WOTF entry today, citing that the anthology is not yet available in stores -- eligibility thing, you know. (grin)
