A little bit of unfortunate news; "Spam" was rejected by Electric Spec, although I did get a very nice letter from the editor. Apparently, everyone there really liked it, but it was stuck behind some other really strong SF submissions. Ah, well. It's off to another market now.

As for my current projects, things are slow going. I just deleted much of what I'd written on the short story; the section was basically a big infodump. I'm hoping it's largely a matter of working out the rust, though I'm also keenly aware of the fact that I have no idea what the story's even about. As for the novel idea, I'm slowly doing some outlining. I've got ideas of what the first six chapters are going to cover, if not any actual outlines. Still, it's something.

Anyhoo, that's all for now. Back to writing.
