In recent news, I finally got my associate membership approved. I'm officially in SFWA (Associate Member, that is).

Congrats!

Had a great email this morning. My Q1 rejected story "A Little Slice Of Heaven" sold to the webzine "Mindflights." The story should appear some time in the next three months.

In other news, I guess I have to start submitting more stories to markets that won't have me. I'm a Duotrope outlier! wotf001

Q4 2011 - Honorable Mention - "Ascent"

Short fiction sales to Mindflights (x2), Twisted Dreams Magazine, Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine

Let me guess: the trick is to write really small?

Or use both sides?

Oh dear. I need a signature.
And an avatar.
And probably other things I don't even know about.

I feel naked.

They say when you go in to "pitch" a movie idea, you've got to get it all into a one or two sentence logline?

Yes to both! Being a detail person, I found that harder than writing the novel (took me about as long, too.)

I'm not the other guy, though I do know who Dawn means. Nor am I a guy, at that. But I also got into Viable Paradise this year.
