The writer/editor’s life
I was able to finish reviews for two Loose ID submissions and report on those. One is a probable no; the other I want to see the full MS on. Got edits returned to an author for her tweaks. She’s so imaginative and full of ideas! I’m looking forward to seeing her revise.
And I sent a couple of acceptances today for the Torquere Press Animal Attraction anthology. A dog story, one horse and one elephant piece. I want to have a nice mix of animals represented so any more dog stories that come in will have to be really stellar as I have three now. There’s one story in the “kinda maybe” box that I have to think about yet. The others I’ll be able to review soon.
If you’re an author who is considering subbing–you’ve still got time! I’m leaving tomorrow for a writer’s workshop and figured I’d give writers that extra time to sub. So, you’ve got ’til January 30th now. No excuses! Think fur, feathers, gills, muzzles, noses, paws, hooves and tails and get writing!
Thank You!
The goal is still to have my sub over to you by tomorrow (And it’s feathery!) but this gives me a little breathing room.
Also: and here’s a bizarre one: I have notes for a story surrounding exotic snails. Too out there? It’s not squishy gross, but it is snails.
Also: thank you for the advice over at my LJ, it’s all good ideas, but we live pretty close to the bone. I’m not sure what I’m going to do just yet, but am trying to come up with a solution by next Wed.
Re: Thank You!
I sure hope you can work out the $ details. I hope it didn’t come across as lecture-y; I just really really really want you to be there. And I know that taking on more writing stuff is gonna be hard. Really hard.
Oooh, feathers! ooooh! Looking forward to it.

Georgia Offers Fresh Evidence on War’s Start
A new front has opened between Georgia and Russia, now over which side was the aggressor whose military activities early last month ignited the lopsided five-day war. At issue is new intelligence, inconclusive on its own, that nonetheless paints a more complicated picture of the critical last hours before war broke out.
Georgia has released intercepted telephone calls purporting to show that part of a Russian armored regiment crossed into the separatist enclave of South Ossetia nearly a full day before Georgia’s attack on the capital, Tskhinvali, late on Aug. 7.
