Jul. 17th, 2006 10:01 pmI didn't get around to dealing with submissions over the last couple of weeks because I was rattling through the WIP at an incredible pace and was totally focused on that. Came up for air on Saturday, and realised that I had been meaning to send in a sub to Erotic DReams Zine for Cock Appreciation Month, I still hadn't done so, and it was last day. Only when I went to check the site for the subs address, I found that they'd closed early due to being swamped with subs. Oops. Oh well. I'll send it to Clean Sheets instead.
I didn't completely neglect subs, as I installed OpenOffice and exchanged files with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
predatrix to see whether I can pick up Track Changes done in a modern edition of Word. The Spawn of Redmond drives me demented every time I try to use it, but some markets insist on using .doc files rather than .rtf files, so it would help if I could at least read the files complete with edits when I absolutely must. Fortunately my editor at Loose Id is perfectly happy to work with rtf, which is compatible with the software at both ends.
Delurk day at Romance Junkies was spread out over both Saturday and Sunday this week. Lots of fun, and doubtless did me some good, because as previously noted I was here on my own for the last couple of weeks.
350 words on Friday. 1000 words on Saturday, except the software crashed with that weird bug again, and *ate* them. So had to rewrite them on Sunday, and did another 450 beyond that. 10,000 total last week, for a running total of 76.9 kwords by Sunday evening.
"No, but please keep submitting" form rejection from Best Lesbian Erotica, saying that the story had reached the semi-final stage even though it hadn't got into the final selection stage. Feeling very pleased with that, as I don't normally do f/f.
*If* I can get copies in time and *if* I can organise for one of my local friends to take them down for me, there will be copies of The Syndicate for sale from the Broad Universe table at Worldcon in LA. If anyone's going and would like to buy a signed copy should they be available, let me know.
Didn't sleep well last night, and had other work to do today, so by the time I had time to write I was too tired to concentrate. Think I'll go to bed early with a book instead.
