(no subject)

Only 550 words today, partly because I was doing paperwork type stuff and partly because it was Too Hot. And because I had to go to the dentist to get an antibiotic prescription and an appointment, and then to the pharmacy to get the penicillin, and I had to cycle while it was Too Hot. That nerve branch that's had endless trouble and multiple root canal fillings in the last few years is playing up again. I hope it's just a minor gum infection annoying the damaged nerve, and not another abscess forming. I'd like to go at least one calendar year this decade without having a root canal filling. [sigh]

Paperwork stuff including tackling the pile of short works to be submitted somewhere. Revised a DVD review and submitted it to Firefox News, and re-read a story and tweaked the formatting as per submission guidelines before submitting it to Fishnet. Also re-read a story to check if it looks good for Clean Sheets, but will submit it tomorrow when I'm awake enough to make sure I've formatted the submission correctly. Then I can dither some more about what to do with a 5000 word short that's just long enough to send to some of the erotic romance publishers. Submit it to one of them, with no money up front but the prospect of continuing royalties? Or submit it to Ruthie's Club, who pay a reasonable cash sum on publication and are a market I'd like to submit to for other reasons? Or stick it back in the file of short stories that could probably be expanded to novella length? Decisions, decisions...
