Received my rejection for "Running and Falling" from Analog today. (It's probably really 48 days since it would have arrived yesterday if it hadn't been a holiday.) Oh well. It wasn't exactly a surprise. The story goes off to F&SF tomorrow.

After this weekend, "Resistance" (the story I workshopped at VP) is pretty much ready to go. That's going to go off to Asimov's. I think "Running and Falling" is a good fit for Asimov's too, but I don't know if it's ok to send them a new story while they're still deciding on the previous one. (However, their guidelines don't discourage it unlike F&SF. They also say they don't track submissions.)

In any case, it's time to get an account at Baen's Bar so I can submit to Baen's "Introducing" new writers slot.

Oh, "Resistance" is a mostly rewritten version of the story I submitted to VP. It's 2500 words shorter, has more plot, and induces less literary vertigo. (Also, my spear carrier character now has a throughline.)

Basically, I'm taking Jim Kelly's advice (like I would ever not). My one on one with him pretty much boiled down to "You already know how to fix this story. So do it, then send it off to Asimov's."
