I had a sudden rash of other business this past week or two that kept me from doing much on Stone Unturned<\/i> or Tom Derringer. I had to read, sign, and deliver three contracts: from Wildside for The Lawrence Watt-Evans Fantasy Megapack<\/i>, from a Canadian publisher for an original short story called “The Prisoner of Shalott,” and from a Chinese publisher to translate and reprint “The Last Bastion.”<\/p>\n
I had to deliver not just the stories and introduction for The Lawrence Watt-Evans Fantasy Megapack<\/i>, but the copyright information and first-publication data for all twenty-four stories.<\/p>\n
An editor in New York expressed interest in seeing an SF novel proposal, so I wrote up a proper outline for Earthright<\/i>, revised the first four chapters, and sent the whole thing to my agent to read and pass along. I doubt anything will come of it.<\/p>\n
I remembered I promised a story to an anthology with a June 1st deadline, so I dug out the story I plan to send them — or rather, the first ten pages of a story, as I haven’t written the rest. I’d lost track of the file after WordPerfect crashed a couple of times; it wasn’t lost or damaged, I just forgot until yesterday that it was one I should re-open. I’ve only added a single sentence to that ten pages.<\/p>\n
I also started looking for somewhere to donate my papers; we’re trying to reduce how much stuff we’ll be putting in storage after we sell this house, and there are a dozen file boxes in the attic.<\/p>\n
Lots of writing business. Not that much writing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
