I had an educational discussion regarding 'zine publishing today with Greg Beatty and Simon Owens on the Speculations Rumor Mill. After talking with them and thinking on what they had to say, I have decided to follow my instincts and not use any of my own fiction to fill story slots in Lone Star Stories. I'll simply publish whatever number of stories I happen to accept for a particular issue. I've also decided not to rush the growth of Lone Star Stories. If it stays small for a while, that will be just fine, as I'm starting on my very time-consuming law job on February 2nd.

I did not hear from any markets in connection with my own submissions today, nor did I get any writing done. Maybe I'll write some this weekend.
