Writing

*Rejection, Angels on Earth, 10/30 (RT: 3 years, 8 months)
*Rejection, Strange Horizons, 11/14 (RT: 2 months)

Not much in the way of writing lately, as I've got a lot of reading to do for the Scribe Awards. Speaking of which, if you're planning on submitting your work for consideration, it needs to be to the appropriate judges NO LATER than December 1. So, get to it!

Also, for the poets out there -- we're woefully low on poetry submissions over at Mindflights, so why not send us something? Can't hurt, and it just might net you some Happy Meal money.

Everything Else

So, I'm watching The Wizard of Oz with YB tonight, and I have a question. In the beginning, the yellow brick road spirals out of the heart of Munchkin Country, leading to the Emerald City, along with a red brick road that, presumably, goes somewhere else (IIRC, it's not in the book). So...where does that road go?

Three years?!?! Really? Wow...

So...where does that road go?

I thought I was the only person who'd ever wondered that (though I admit, I haven't thought about it in years). It's almost enough to make one want to write a bit of Oz-fiction...

Yeah. I was going to add a snarky comment about the RT, but then I figured -- it sort of speaks for itself.

RE: Oz. This is the first time I've really sat down and watched the whole thing in at least twenty years, so if I ever wondered about the other brick road, I don't remember it. Does seem ripe for writerly exploration, though.

I was gonna say the same thing... almost FOUR years? Holy smokes!
