Had the best of presents on my birthday the other week –
offers from two different anthologies for two pieces! There’s still all the
contract and editorial mess to get out of the way, but the first should come
out at the beginning of November, and the second at the beginning of December.
And so my summer of languishing quietly in the depths of illness without a “real
job” is justified. The other two anthologies for which the contract mess has
already been completed should also come out at that time, and since I’ve never done
this before I’m keeping my head down and hoping that they don’t need anything
else from me, as I’m not very tech adept at the best of times and school seems
to turn me into a frantic Frances.
The other writers make me feel very out of my depth, as most
of them appear to have finished school at only the best places quite a while
ago and have moved on to teaching, moving, and shaking in the sort of places
where Broadway plays and films noir are set. But my writing appears to suit,
and no one’s thrown me out for being a foul impostor yet, so we shall see how
all of this anthology-ing goes.
