abracanabraBetween the holidays, the kids’ school stuff, and various minor crises, I’ve been kept pretty busy with non-writing stuff. This is not the first year that I’ve ended up doing a Nov/Dec market list newsletter; I should really just make that the annual plan!
But! On Sunday, I wrote the highest number of words in a day that I’ve managed so far on my current SF work-in-progress. Why? Well, I had a critique group submission deadline and I wanted to finish the chapter and submit it. Who says critique groups aren’t useful?!?
And I should share my own awards eligibility post! I had one new short story published this year, “Beck’s Pest Control and the Case of the Drag Show Downer.” Beck has an unconventional pest control service, a client struggling with a fame-hungry poltergeist, and a daughter having trouble finding friends at her new Deaf school. It’s just another day in the life of a single mom.
