*Rejection, Strange Horizons, 2/13 (RT: 1 month)
*Submission, nanobison, 2/13
Got mugged by an 80-line poem to which my poetry group has responded: "wow," "excellent," "devastating," and "YEOWCH!" I guess they like it, heh. So far, this deployment has yielded three poems (one already sold) and a short story (in progress), and we're only a month or so into it. At this rate, I'll have enough for a book by the time my husband gets home, heh.
Everything Else
On the other hand, while the deployment may be good fodder for my Muse, it pretty much sucks in every other possible way. The garage door opener has gone on strike. The dog is having seizures again, and will probably need her medication upped. EB is having anxiety attacks, and I just discovered YB has a mole on his head (underneath his hair, so it's hard to see) that has gotten bigger and is bleeding. And the doctor can't get him in until tomorrow. Not good.
So, yeah. Can't recommend it, no matter how many stories/poems come out of it. Sigh.
