Things I Know I Know

I managed to score three copies of Asimov's March issue today. So now I have at least seen myself in print.

I am going on another book buying moratorium (yes, I am--don't laugh!), not because I have too many books, but because I have too many books I haven't read. I did buy three books when I was in Borders buying my copies of Asimov's because I finally found three books on the 2 for 3 table that I wanted and it was, like, a bargain and, uh, I had to. Also, I got an idea for a story while I was walking Billie this afternoon and came home to look up research materials and realized that I already have at least three appropriate books sitting on my shelves unread.

I got my replacement digital camera yesterday so I will be able to resume dog blogging soon. Unless, of course, this one stops working.

I did not manage to finish a story for the month of January. I almost finished Later, There will be Fireworks but it got too messy so it has to sit around for awhile until I forget how messy it is. I am currently working on The Whale's Lover and In the Aftermath of Rain.

I have to finish a story before the end of February or chance will mock me.

I did sell two stories last month: Magic in a Certain Slant of Light to Year's Best Fantasy #6 (check out the gorgeous cover) and Chainsaw on Hand to Asimovs.

I am currently reading The Search by John Battelle, Crossing Three Wildernesses by U Sam Oeur, and A Princess of Roumania by Paul Park (I actually haven't started this one yet, but it is next up on my list for when I have to switch from non-fiction to fiction).
