I really enjoy writing reviews. I have resolved to do more of them.

I can't imagine how William Nolan did everything through snail mail. E-mail makes life so much easier.

This morning I cleared out my In-Box. Surprisingly, it filled up when I did not check it all weekend. I found:

* three rejections

* one hold for a submission

* one request for edits on a submission, upon which I asked questions about. (I didn't quite get what the editor was saying.)

* one invitation to submit to an anthology

The next step was to reply to various emails and then resubmit the pieces that had been rejected.

One of the stories was so specialized that I really can't submit it elsewhere, but that happens. I'll be able to recycle some of the ideas.

I was able to find a potential good home for one of them.

The last story is one of my favorite stories, but it will be a very difficult one to place. This story is a very personal story based on something very sad that happened to me as a child. I'm proud of it, especially since I was able to actually write it, but I might be too close to it. I can't imagine where I'd submit it, so I might have to hold it for a while. It has elements of dark fantasy, but it could also be the boy's imagination.

I need to finish "Funeral for a Viking King" by Thursday to meet the deadline and then I am clear for a couple of weeks.

I have 500 words finished for "Funeral Pyre for a King in the Shadow of Ragnorok" and I'm really enjoying working with Norse Mythology.

And I am loving reading about 10th century Arab culture. I might do a short story series on Ahmad ibn Fadlan and his traveling adventures with a mythical bent.

I feel really lucky.
