The Novel, She Is Finished!
Jun. 29th, 2010 09:41 pmWell, the first stage is finished. I did the final cutting (and pasting--moving some sections around), as well spell-checking. Then I converted it to a PDF format and emailed it to my lovely and talented wife. She has downloaded it onto her Nook so she can read it. We'll see what she has to say about it.
I also two stories back into the mail (well, the email, to be exact) to new markets: Sniplits and Strange Horizons, to be precise.
Keen observers may note that my first novel is now out at only three publishers instead of four. That's right, I got another rejection. But as rejections go, it's a pretty good one, I think. But I'm going to save the details on that til tomorrow. I'm meeting my fellow pixel-stained technopeasant wretches (the INK writing collaborative) tomorrow night, and I want to see what they say about it first.
And now, to go start reading Kitty Goes To War, the latest Carrie Vaughn novel. Hurrah!
