I’m writing this while waiting for an edited version of Sleep to print out.  Once it does, it’s going into a nice big envelope along with an SASE for a trip out to Los Angeles to be considered for Writers of the Future.  Been so long since I’ve submitted anything that I’m reading the rules three, four, and five times over to make sure I haven’t done some stupid thing to get myself eliminated from competition without a word being read.  Especially the rule about the fact that the story must never have been previously published, a rather important distinction for anyone who knows the history of Sleep.

No name on the work except the cover.  Check.

Page numbers.  Check.

Manuscript format.  Check

SASE.  Check.

Printing has completed.  Now it’s just working up the nerves to head down to the car and get me to the Post Office.  After this one heads off, the next project will probably be a big edit of The Dorman, a story that I think has a lot of good potential, but also needs a really strong editing pass.
