Heh--we're word surgeons. Our characters better never mess with us!I just went through one of my stories on draft 4. I decided to change the MC from a male into a female. It improved the story by 100%
What a strange power we writers have.
Aww *hugs* Hope you get back into your writing groove soon.I've been slacking. Barely anything written. Nothing finished or edited. About the only thing I've done is send four subs out (Chizine, Shroud, NewMyths & Linger). One hold request from a market that has held five other stories before... all of which were rejected eventually.
No rejections yet this month--although one will be coming from Not One of Us any day now for my second favorite story....
That's the spirit, Matt! Bombard those editors wherever they may be.The dark side of W1S1: its raining rejections!
My rebuttal: I've just bought a stack of envelopes to reach out to those markets that won't accept e-subs. Try to hide from me, eh?
Ooh-shiny!And the EC issue is up. Some really gorgeous stuff there.

I'm thinking if I can get it written and polished up by Friday I'll sub it to the Mammoth Book of Steampunk. But that'll be a close call. Guess the only way I'm going to find out if I can do it is to start.
