R cookies to kinokonoronin, Alan Yee, Lakey, and anyone else who needs 'em.
Alan,
. Hey, if you do get the story done, wanna swap critiques?
Lakey, congrats on the acceptance! Woot!
Belle, go you on finishing the first draft! And brain-fail sympathy for the querying goofs. I haven't done that recently, but I did lock my keys in my still-running car yesterday. So it's not just you, FWIW, and I would hope agents can roll with that right now.
I have started referring to the current novel as my Work Still In F'ing Progress. My dearest goal right now is to get the WSIFP finished and just concentrate on short stories for a while; I need some faster turn-around times, and I'm having (slightly) better luck on that front anyway.
