Friday Rants and Raves - August 15

[sarillia]

Hey all! I haven't done this in a while. How are you doing? How's the writing going? Things to celebrate? Complaints? Let's hear it!

Today's picture is Awaiting the Rebirth by Peter Gric, a wonderfully weird example of fantastic realism:

Woke up to two rejections in my inbox, only one of which I could flip to a new market, so that was fun. The next market I want to send the other to already has one of mine and doesn't take multiple subs, so it waits. On the plus side, the assistant editor there likes me and likes my stories, so I think it's just a matter of time before I crack them. I have 20 stories out right now, not counting the hoepfully-sort-of acceptances from STRAEON and Collidor--and only four stories sitting there and waiting, which includes the requested rewrite for Spark.

Working on the plot for the I Am the Abyss story right now (due Oct 1), along with giving everyone names. And revisions for the Unquiet Neighbors story to send back to Spark.

Aaaaaaaaah. I'd rather be busy than not, but... aaaaaaah.

Sorry to hear about the rejections. I hope the other submissions go well. At some point I'd like to be a productive and good about submitting things as you are.

I was thinking about submitting something for I Am the Abyss but none of my ideas have really come together yet and I'm running out of time. I still might do it but I'm not sure.
