of which there has been some this week.

So far, another 1000 words or so on Silver Moon, my werewolf novel in progress. Hoping to clear 60,000 words by WisCon and on target for that if I keep plugging away.
Most of a draft of "At Mother Laurie's House of Bliss," a fantasy/closed room mystery that I'm hoping to get done in time to submit to Lee Martindale's Ladies of Tradetown antho.

Acceptance (yay!): "Three Views of the Maiden in Peril" (reprint from Farrago's Wainscot), accepted for Northern Lights: 20 MinnSpec Tales edited by Michael Merriam and due out later this year from Sam's Dot Publishing.

Rejections: 2 reprints submitted to Best New Erotica, Vol.10. I've traditionally been on an every other year or so acceptance cycle with this one so I'll have to try again next year.

Waiting to hear from Best Lesbian Romance, Best Lesbian Erotica, Best Lesbian Fiction (we have a theme here) and Lacuna on current subs.

Reading subs for Hellebore and Rue.

Goals for the weekend:
2000 words on Silver Moon
Finish Mother Laurie's.
Read more subs.

I'm also finishing up reading Jeff VanderMeer's Booklife: Strategies for the 21st Century Writer. I'm amazed at how much I love this book. It has a remarkably energizing effect on me that's very nearly enough to make me love the business of writing. Highly recommended!
