I just submitted to Clarkesworld. As Neil gives no personal feedback, I have no idea if any of my must-be-around-six-dozen previous submissions came close or not. He did give me a card that instructs one to be kind to the bearer as they have been rejected by Clarkesworld. And he has always been pleasant to converse with each time I've met him at a conference. Let's game this: try to guess how long it will take before I receive the rejection email.

I had a nice chat with my editor over the weekend. I realized I’m working once final third of my #WIP. This project has me all over the place, trying to navigate two different time periods for the same MC and grinds. I think that’s why I didn’t comprehend how far along I actually am. #writingcommunity #authorsofmastodon

The Occasional Downgrade

I am an Apple user, and a long-time techie. I have rarely been able to afford cutting edge technology, but I remember a time when what I have now was still futuristic: a computer on your wrist, any…
