Sold a story to Asimov’s!!! My second sale there, and I have to say, I’m just as thrilled as I was the first time. Woot woot! Another story in my Jump Space universe. I can’t remember everyone who gave me feedback on “Among the Marithei” — probably my local Acorns writing group, certainly Jed Hartman and Alex Gurevich. […]

This is a ramble about my small businesses and making money. I had a long conversation with Kevin yesterday about what writing projects I should work on this fall. So many possibilities — I need to narrow it down to both a) what might pay well soon, and b) what’s interesting to me right now.
I may have slightly mis-scheduled myself, because apparently my brain is convinced that I CAN’T POSSIBLY need to finalize my syllabi on the same day I finished writing my novel. I finished writing a novel today! I should by lying around being fed bonbons, yes? (I did eat quite a few of the Australian chocolates

Liminal Space, a SF novel, final revisions done. Well, for this draft, anyway. 83,188 words. Off to my agent. Fingers and toes crossed. I even drafted a dedication today, although I can’t promise it will stay exactly like this if the book actually makes it to print. But for now, this is what I have.

It’s been a hectic week or so, between trying to finish the novel before the semester starts, getting ready for classes, and participating in two conventions this weekend. I haven’t had much time to think generally, since it’s been so task-focused (much braining), so it’s good to take a little time to review where I
Clean-up pass progressing well, up to 56,000 words, end of Part Two. I don’t think there’s going to be much to change in Part Three (in part because I’ve now outpaced my beta readers and their time to do line edits for me). I’m honestly a little tempted to call it done and send it
Today we’re in slightly surreal virtual convention land, as I am a program participant for two conventions at once! Worlds colliding! My NASFiC programming starts today, and I’ll simultaneously be hosting events at Fiberworld. Well, not quite simultaneously — I’ll be ducking out of tonight’s fashion show to be on a NASFiC panel, and then

More interruptions today than I anticipated, so I only managed clean-up revisions on 2 chapters instead of the planned 3. But still, done up through chapter 8, 27,380 words. Progressing. Will I be done before the semester starts? We’ll see.
Oh, this is lovely — animator Brandon Hadnot sent along the first draft of a little video to open the Portolan Project interview videos, and it is so cool, I love it. I sent him back a few tweaks, but I think Brandon’s gotten remarkably close to my original brief already, and we’ll have a finished version
I’ll have a confirmed schedule of what panels I’m on tomorrow, I think, but a quick note that NASFiC’s virtual convention is FREE this coming weekend, so register! Look at the schedule once it’s posted! Put lots of interesting panels into your calendar to attend! And readings! And music! It’s going to be fun. (NASFiC
