Wow, well, I submitted Data Center to Asimov's late |
|
|
|
last week. They said it would take up to five weeks to |
|
|
|
hear back, so I was ready to just sit back and forget |
|
|
|
it. But damned if I didn't get a personal email back |
|
|
|
on Sunday afternoon already!! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
They didn't want the story. I didn't think they would |
|
|
|
take my first submission in more than 20 years. But |
|
|
|
shit if you don't shoot you won't score. Is that a |
|
|
|
sports metaphor? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
BUT WHAT AN HONOR, the main editor of Asimov's read my |
|
|
|
story and wished me good luck and thanked me for being |
|
|
|
a reader and signed her own real name at the bottom. |
|
|
|
How cool!!!! |

I am waiting for feedback on BUGS. Only a few people |
|
|
|
have read the entire thing, and so far I've only got |
|
|
|
some uncritical compliments. I am glad people like it, |
|
|
|
but definitely want to give it bake time. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I am not sure how I want to release that one. Put it |
|
|
|
online free again? Put it in a book first? Or an |
|
|
|
ebook? I was even thinking it could be fun to put all |
|
|
|
three stories together into a thicker book... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
But meanwhile I have the inkling for another story |
|
|
|
about someone shot into space to mine asteroids |
|
|
|
against his will, left with nothing but an extremely |
|
|
|
overly sensitive sexbot as a companion. LOL. |

My job is a weird sick and not funny joke. I mean, I |
|
|
|
guess that is fine? I'm glad I was so productive |
|
|
|
independently for two decades before signing onto this |
|
|
|
slowly, slowly, slowly sinking ship. |
