Travel Weirdness, With Bonus Anthology Deadline Reminder

[dr_pretentious]

There was a time when visiting my parents really did mean extra writerly productivity. You can guess what watershed event changed that. Yet somehow I always expect I'll still get more writing done here than at home.

Ah, well. Still plugging away.

Speaking of holiday crimps in writing workstyles, this seems like a good time to remind folks of the January 5th deadline for the Trafficking in Magic and Magicking in Traffic anthologies. Some of you have expressed interest in submitting stories, and I'd really love to see them. I've been assuming that, come deadline day, we'll be deluged with last minute submissions. I hope so, because the anthologies are definitely not full yet. We've got some great stuff, and some stuff that might be great with a little revision, but we don't have as much of it as we want. Maybe your manuscript is what's missing.

Do you have a link for this? If so, I'll pass it on to the folks at the GSHW and the Monmouth Writers.

The call for submissions is at http://drolleriepress.com/drollerie/submit/open-anthologies/ (http://drolleriepress.com/drollerie/submit/open-anthologies/). Thanks for passing it along!

I second the thanks for passing it along. It seems like we get a bump in submissions every time word gets out at a convention or through some other route, so that should help.

Sarah, if you haven't checked your e-mail, you may want to look at the message from our fearless (spare-timeless?) leader pertaining to this. Obviously I won't go into the details here.

My pleasure, that's what networking's all about, right?
Happy New Year to you and yours :)
