Okay, so, definitely looking forward to Nice Tie coming out at Loose Id.
At the moment it's not looking hopeful for Eastercon, but I'm always up for e-mail noodling if I can offer any perspective. My first thought would be to be careful about putting pressure on yourself. I found that I seemed to do well with responding to specific calls for contests and targetted submissions ... until I pretty much burnt out, not just on writing but everything and spent most of 18 months doing nothing but reading fanfic all day every day. :( I understand now that putting the extra pressure on myself in addition to other stresses was not helpful.
As for your WIP - now you've just hit all my triggers. Plot-noodling feedback available as required. ;)
