1) The Campbell Eligibility Page is now UP at Writertopia, and I'm on it...along with a lot of other really good people. ;o)
I haven't, however, been able to access the profile, yet, so it only has the one story listed on the bibliography. I hope to get around to that soon. I also noted that there are a lot of peopleI know who are eligible who havent' put their names on the list.

2) Happy BD to [livejournal.com profile] mkhobson. May the next year not have the pains of the last.

3) Story in, story back out...the circle of life.

4) I found Blood Oranges (Moros) at one of the local grocery stores. They're very tart and small. I expect bigger ones later.

5) I've started reading The Lone Star Stories Reader, and the first story is "Wolf Night" by Martha Wells. I've read this one a few times before and I also put it in one of my Anthology Builder anthologies, but I still enjoy reading it, which is why I didn't skip over. Best line:
He had never had a woman hit anybody with an axe for him before, and it had quite turned his head.
Subtle and funny, very nice ;o)

6) Finished Iron Shoes at 36.5K. Will think about it for a while, and then start sending it out.

Once in a while, I don't have an image in my cut-up-magazine files to represent a character, so I have to go looking on-line. Good pictures of kids are especially hard to find.

FOr the piece I'm working on right now (which would be a follow up to Iron Shoes*)I needed a two-year-old boy, dark hair and eyes, something of a holy terror. I found this:

Snurched from this article.

Isn't that one perfect? It was on my first search page. Sometimes you just get lucky.

*Yes, the bunny has already come in with suggestions...I guess 36K just isn't enough.
