Three go out
Yep, finally, I put a few stories in the mail. My biggest accomplishment was getting "The Flower Gathering" out the door. It's been languishing on my hard drive for a very long time and I finally got the nerve to send it out into the world for scrutiny, to Asimov's.

"Stuffy and the Belfry" is headed for Fantasy Magazine and "A Soul for Christmas" to Doorways.

That puts my total number of submissions at 20. This is week 21, so I'm still a bit behind, but I have two more in the hopper and when I next sit down, they'll be out and I'll be back on track. The shiny counter:

Zokutou word meterZokutou word meter
20 / 52
(38.5%)


On the personal front, I'm taking the kids to see the new Indiana Jones movie in about an hour. And, the pool is now open and filling with water. Soon we will be swimming! Woot!

Great news on the subs, especially TFG! It's about time that one got some outings.

You're ahead of me, now, but I do have at least two to send out. Must catch up soon.

Envying your pool about now. The temp and humidity are rising here in the sunny South.

There isn't much to envy. The heater isn't working and the chemical balance is off at the moment. So even though it's open, no one has been able to swim in it yet. *sigh*

I'm excited to hear that you've been working on MoS and it's headed to F&SF. I got another no grabber from them today.

Maybe you can write a story about a zombie squirrel that fell into a toxic and cold backyard pool in Ontario?

MoS is not done or gone yet. Let's hope I can withstand the effort. I'll probably get a no-grabber again. The one alas-o-gram was probably a fluke as the story still has not sold, alas. (That's what the "alas" part means, still a no-sale ringer.)
