Encouraging rejection from Abyss & Apex for “The Sultan’s Sons”, one of the stories I sent out yesterday. I have some ideas of where to send it next, which is nice.

I had a _lovely_ visit from Christine today! It’s so wonderful to talk writing with an enthusiastic, positive, working/producing writer. We also talked about lots of other stuff, but writing was a main topic. Darn it, I wish she lived closer! It’s my turn to visit her next time…

After she left, I went and picked up the Combat Booklets from the copy shop. Discovered a major booboo, entirely my fault, although I may have to fire my proofreader. 8-) Not sure if I should hand-correct 2,500 booklets; remove staples from 2,500 booklets, have new covers printed at my expense, and use my own electric saddle stapler to reconstruct the booklets; or pretend I didn’t know about the error(s). [bonk head on desk] I’m a little tired, so now is not the time to think about the problem or the potential solutions.

I also went to Michael’s and picked up yarn for a belt I’m weaving for a promissory. I have a few other minor projects to finish first, but when I’m ready for this one, I’ll have all the bits to do it.
