Sit Rep

I've sent "The Automatic Pen" out to Analog today.

Hopefully, Stanley Schmidt will like a 21st century Mark Twain type tall tale about a country hick genius who builds a wormhole to meet aliens who can fix his automatic pen.

I'm continuing to eke out an SF script rewrite. It's like pulling teeth, but I halfway get the feeling I'm onto something.

Today I finally mailed off "Ra-Gho-Zu" again after it got rejected by Analog in late January 2009. I've been busy, but I sent it to Asimov's. Hopefully, Sheila Williams will like my SF opus better than Stanley Schmidt did.

Then when I got home, I found my "Automatic Pen" manuscript waiting for me in the mail with a rejection sheet from WOTF.

Nichevo.

I'll mail the "Automatic Pen" to Analog by the middle of next week.

I'm crawling through a film script rewrite now and reading a novel or two--when I have free time from work.

I'll see how this year turns out.
