BIG NEWS!

In the we knew them when section, fellow VP Fighting XIII'er Sean Craven makes his first short story sale to Tor.com.

Sean gives me hope today. Even though I talk with a great deal of confidence, when the teachers at VP told us we were the next generation of SF/F writers, you can believe it about the others, but you have doubts about yourself. It makes me feel that all this cuspy stuff I'm on the verge of *can* happen, and perhaps, just for Sean, for half an hour to celebrate, I'll allow myself to get good and hopeful.

Good job, Sean.

So. Lunch. Writing. Waiting for the new stove. Turkey pick up. Yeah.

Currently writing through the Manuel and Wort string of the story. It will intersect with Hild's story and the Widow's story shortly.
