Anyone got a question for me? Some questions might not be answered, others might not be answered in a way you'd want...

I suppose it would be better than sending me something that started with "Dudette".

So did you send me something for MM or are you polishing something for the regular pile?

What I had at the time of MM needed more than "just" polishing (and it wasn't done, in any case), so I elected not to send anything at all. If you have another round at some point, then, yes, I will try for that.

Otherwise, I'll just add to your regular pile.

Either way one gets my full attention when their book is in front of me.

Getting the book on the desk is 98% of the struggle, by my reckoning. The other 2% involves nail-biting.

Rest assured if my latest fits what you normally represent, I shall chuck it your way.

As it generally pertains to this biz... you are an optimist...

A buddy of mine didn't tell me to change the name for my journal to "Patron Saint of Pessimism" for nothing. Between reading several author journals and from experience, I know it can be tough to get published in any genre, in any format, and in any length. My stack of rejection letters, past and present, attest to that.

But, dude, I've got to get these stories out of my head somehow. They're interfering with my work.
