Back to Journal  « My Song on a Star Wars Podcast | 2007 Submission Log: Week 2 | Commenting Moved to LiveJournal » 2007 Submission Log: Week 2 January 14, 2007 Submissions 336-342: Poems to Lone Star Stories and Talebones, fiction to Flashshot and Jim Baen's Universe. Rejections 218-225: Asimov's (4 months), Star*Line (a day), Lone Star Stories (a day), New Yorker Caption Contest, Dreams and Nightmares (a day), and Flash Tales (a day). And not exactly a sale, but Flashshot will be running a story grenade of mine sometime later this year. Notes: I'm working on three new stories (okay, two new stories and a Clarion revision) on an alternating basis, and I think all three should be ready to go out by the end of the month. I think if I'm ever unfortunate enough to have to produce six stories in six weeks again, I'd do well to start them all in the first few weeks, take my time revising them all, and turn them all in on day forty-two. Of course, that strategy wouldn't have worked at Clarion, but more mature drafts would have saved me some embarrassment. I want as many stories as possible to be working the slush piles for me while I focus on longer works for much of this year. My tentative genre short story goal is to qualify for SFWA active membership (that's two more story sales to SFWA-qualifying publications) by the end of June. That should motivate me to keep sending stuff out and not bunker myself entirely while I work. Filed under Happy Fun Log, Journal  
Comments: Discuss this entry at LiveJournalAnything ironic or expose-worthy in the Asimov's rejection? Like, did a Left-Hand slush editor reject "Outgoing" while a Right-Hand editor published it? Posted by: Alan at January 15, 2007 10:12 AM 
Hey, are you out there, doing okay, relatively? Sending you well wishes if not. Posted by: Alan at January 20, 2007 11:13 PM
Hey Alan. Thanks for your concern, and sorry about the delay in posting your comments. Internet access and time is going to be strange for me over the next six months (I may talk about this, I may not). And I get 50+ comment-spams for every legitimate one. So I've opted to send everyone over to LiveJournal from now on for commenting, since more than half my visitors seem to prefer that anyway. As far as the Asimov's rejection, no, no story. It was for a cluster of three poems. Ms. Williams did request to see more fiction, which I'm granting as quickly as I'm able. Posted by: Alex at January 21, 2007 2:18 PM
