4/21/03: Back in the saddle again

Word count: 11365

It took longer than I hoped to get that story revised, but I got it in the mail to F&SF before leaving for Minicon. I hate revisions... it feels like taking one of my children apart in hopes of putting her back together in a more pleasing shape. This may explain why I have 7 stories critiqued and awaiting revision (but at least it's down from 8).

I did get almost 900 words written on the plane to Minicon, and critiqued some stuff on the plane home. But looking back on those 900 words I think I need to revise some of them (there's that word again, ick) before proceeding... my main character isn't taking nearly enough action.

At the moment I'm a bit sick (just a mild sore throat and lack of energy, not SARS) so I'm going to bed early.

Oh, and one more teeny little thing: I'm on the Hugo ballot! I'm one of the nominees for the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer. Go me!!
