Very pleased to announce the sale of my short story, “Not Only Who You Know,” to Asimov’s.
A little near future spec fic, a little romance, a little crime fiction, a little social commentary… I’m happy with how it came out.
I am making my 1k a day goal for 300 days this year, though I don’t write evenly, some days are more productive than others, and some days are lost to the real world.
I’m a bit behind now. I’ll pour it on and make my deadline, I think.
I’ve lost 25 pounds in the last seven weeks or so, on purpose. So, I’m counting calories, and counting words, and counting steps, my Self fully quantified.
I wanna thank my workshops, Neopros, Mechanics, and B-Spec, for all their help over the years, Sheila Williams for helping me fix the broken bits of my stories, my friend Celeste for being Celeste, and my family for giving me the time and space to write a lot. A lot for me anyway.
At the end of the year I expect I will be pushing just as hard, just as frantically, for more clients and more freelance work. But I’m not worried about that now. For now I am doing this. As hard as I can.
Or is it easy? What could be easier than falling into your dreams.
The hard part, really, is leaving them to live in the world.
