* MinnSpec meeting on developing your protagonist, then workshop that got Vicesteed chapters 23-24(partial) through. There was much discussion of The Necessity for Climbing a Wall.

03/14/2009 - Saturday the 14th, 1/2 work at NgithOwl
* Processed 2nd (?) acknowledgment of receipt for "Demons of Disease."
* Submitted "A Phoenix By Any Other Name" to Fusion Fragment, and discovered 2 dead markets in my market listings spreadsheet while figuring out where to submit it too.
* Thanks to a tip from Inktea, figured out I'd submit "Dining on a Dead Girl's Dime" to http://mnartists.org/article.do?rid=225909 next. Which is good, because I have *such* difficulty figuring out where to submit my literary stories. I write one of them and think, "Ugh. I committed literature again. So much more annoying to try and sell!" Added it to calendar and submission order spreadsheet.
* Updated market list from Duotrope.
