Hello all.<\/p>\n
It’s been a quiet year, writing news wise, this year. <\/p>\n
I’ve been up to much, first holiday and first convention since the Covid stuff started, got Covid (mildly, I’m glad to say), got all eco-smug about electric cars, but when it comes to news to put in here, not so much.<\/p>\n
I have, according to Submission Grinder, had my highest number of rejections ever but no acceptances. Considering that last year I had a barnstormer with multiple publications I think it is only reasonable to expect a dip but I’d have liked to have been able to report on something.<\/p>\n
Hey, and indeed, ho. Hopefully one of the ‘Held for consideration’ notes I have will transform into something in the New Year but in the meantime I’ll continue to plug away, not least because I’m still enjoying making up bobbins as a distraction from some of the crap in the world.<\/p>\n
Also because I’d like to go to the Glasgow Worldcon in 2024 and say ‘I write’ and not feel like a total fraud doing so.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Anywho, one thing I can still do is put up one of my old stories by way of the traditional Christmas ‘present’. This year it’s a thing about gods and goddesses that was published back in 2015 that came out of one of the many excellently silly post-GSFWC pub conversations.<\/p>\n
