Braggage III

Much of my wordage these days is taken up with mid-to long length stuff (novellas or novels), but I did write another short story with the Monster Society co-author. We got an acceptance in under twelve hours. Woohoo!

The second story that I wrote is in the September issue of Grantville Gazette. Not sure when this third one will run. (There are more stories in the series, this is just the third one I've written with Eric.) Still excited that they seem to like our work.

Congrats on the sales, Aggy! :-D

Congrats, Aggy! 12 hours?!? Wicked.

I've got something that's almost (though not quite) Braggage, but I hope it's fun.

I guest posted about "Character Rebellion" at the MotiveMeansOpportunity mystery writer blog. Topic: What happens when your characters won't cooperate with what you envisioned for them?

In my case, characters in my grave robbing WIP decided robbing graves is too much hard work, so they issued a list of complaints! To say the least, they're making me crazy -- so I'm considering replacing them.

If you have a minute, drop by for a chuckle.

OUTSTANDING, JJ! I'm thrilled for you.

Congrats JJ - Apex is a great market! You should be excited.

Congrats JJ! Fantabulous news

Congrats, JJ. Monumental!

Congrats, JJ! (And how come you were outed? I seem to remember the same for CoW. This is the Braggage thread - brag a little! Give the rest of us some hope. ;-) )

Heh, sorry, I keep thinking I'm going to wait for the story to come out, forgetting that people will see it on SG before then.

But thanks, everyone. I truly could not have come this far without AbsoluteWrite. *hugs AW*

Apex?! Yay, JJ, that's awesome!!!

Congrats J.J!!! And everyone else I've missed.

Woot! Congrats JJ and all others! I'm not here often enough, but love to see this thread grow.

I have two things out now!

1. A novella, the first in a Novella Series called Kaiju Revisited from Apokrupha (they do lamplight): Marta Martinez Saves the World
2. A little prose poem piece from Matter Press: Better Homes

Excited to announce that my story "News from the Extreme Chess Olympiad" will be appearing in the anthology "Futuristica Volume 2" from Metasagas Press!

Woo, congrats, AC!

Thanks, JJ. I'm psyched--this is my second genre fiction sale which qualifies as 'pro' according to SFWA, so if/when I get one more then I'll be eligible to join the organization.

Are they a qualifying market at SFWA? I'm not familiar with them.

An anthology paying 6c/word is qualifying, according to the SFWA website, and Metasagas Press meets that rate.

They need to be an approved qualifying market to use them for SFWA membership, though.

Sorry, I hate to be a big downer. On the plus side, you only need one qualifying sale to join as an associate member. That's not as cool as being an active member, but it's something.
