World Fantasy Convention is next week! That crept up on me. I’m really looking forward to it as it’s a chance to see old friends and meet some new people. I need to introduce myself to Shawna McCarthy and the team over at Wildside Press and thank them for buying my stories. Speaking of which…

Just sent off the final version of “Working Out Our Salvation” to Weird Tales, which I assume means it’s coming out relatively soon. More info as it becomes available.

Also, to my amusement I just realized the next draft of “Miss Pavlichenko” needs to be posted to the class website this Tuesday. Silly me, I thought I had until Thursday! I put another 1K words into it the other night (a scene starring Eleanor Roosevelt) which brings it to 8K. I think 10-11K is where this draft will land and will likely get longer the more I revise. The more I mull over this story, the more I like it. It definitely needs work—especially at the sentence level—but I find myself being moved as I write it. Which is always a good sign.

Loading up Pride and Prejudice on my iPod as the next audiobook to fall to my ears, followed by Great Expectations I think. P&P has been highly recommended by lovely wife and not-nearly-as-lovely Eric Bresin.

I just found out the new car has a six CD changer. Here’s how I think I’m going to load it up.

Slot 1: The Clash
Slot 2: Give ‘Em Enough Rope
Slot 3: London Calling
Slot 4: Sandanista (Disc 1)
Slot 5: Sandanista (Disc 2)
Slot 6: Combat Rock

That gives me a nice variety to choose from. Just in one of those moods…
