Steve Miller comments on my post from a few days ago, Writing for (Horace) Gold with:

re the stories people won't see, and the stories everyone writes -- I did an article called The Ten Stories Every Writer Must Write (or something like) for Thrust magazine [a defunct fanzine--jdt] many moons ago... included "Standing on The Beach Being Sensitive" and some of the others you already know...

Needless to say, I contacted Steve asking if there was a copy anywheres about I could get my hands on. He's scanning it and I'm looking forward to reading what should prove to be an enlightening and entertaining article. (Maybe I can convince him to reprint it someplace.)

No rejections today, and nothing going out in the mail. Writing continues as it should.

Pretty Maggie made cupcakes yesterday. It's a race to see who finished them first--yet I should hold back I s'pose. It's not like I need more junk food, and she _did_ make them after all. Still....

... cupcakes. mmmmmmm.

I recevied another nice e-mail the other day from someone who had read "Digger Don't Take No Requests" in Low Port (Meisha Merlin, Sharon Lee & Steve Miller, eds.). I've gotten some great responses from that story, both in e-mails and in person. The placement of my story helped a bit, I'm sure. It was the second story in the anthology, and was an upbeat story following a somewhat downbeat one.

Keep writing, boy. Keep writing.

Today's link goes to another pulp magazine-related site - The Pulp Rack by Duane Spurlock. Many articles, stories and other pulp-related material. More fun exploring!

Cheers!
