I'm all up and down again.
Got a rejection from another agency on The Penitent. Hmm... I know this is meant to be difficult, but really!
Still no news on the myriad short submissions still out there which I am taking as a good thing. (Sort of...)
On the other hand, work is good - very busy and all gearing up for the annual lecture on Sunday. I have to do up a book list for that. Still have a pile of cataloging sitting on my desk too.
And I am now a slush editor at Haruah. Don't actually know what that means as yet, because I need someone to explain the system to me but I am very excited about it (always excitable). It adds a new dimension to The Lost Rose as it is on submission there. It's the old adage skewed to deal with editors, but subbed pieces have to be better than good and really really polished. Maybe I have just made things a lot harder for myself! Uh-oh.
Anyway, work calls. Better get some done. It does pay for everything else!

An interesting day today. I got The Wolf's Sister ready to post out in the morning and submitted The Lost Rose again, an online sub which is so handy!
I also got a mail from a friend asking if I would be interested in becoming a slush editor for her magazine. Gulp! Well, I said yes, heaven help us all!
My parents came to dinner and we talked about Brittany. We (the sprogs, the hubbie and I, not my parents) are going there in August to a place just south of Quimper. My parents and I went on a holiday there many (too many) years ago - I must have been about 6 perhaps, but I have very clear memories of Port Navalo (I think, we looked it up but that was a number of hours and half a bottle of wine ago!). I will have to go there and see what is real and what is imaginary. My son, who is 5, remembers things from a very young age. It's quite amazing.
This is going to be a short post as I am exhausted and it is later than expected. We watched Little Miss Sunshine this evening and I can honestly say I have not laughed so much in a very long time.
