Anything In-Between
This is the busiest time of my life. Getting married in a couple more weeks is hardly even part of that at this point! That'll be past soon enough...but after that? There is so much to do, on so many different levels.
This is one thing I'm thinking very hard about right now: The latest open call from Wizards of the Coast. I've already submitted to two before—one more than a year ago, which Kameron Franklin won (good job, man!) and one for the new Eberron campaign setting (we're all still waiting on that one)—but those were a breeze compared to this, as far as sheer work. The reason is, by the time you turn your submission in (March '05), you have to have the novel finished, because once they've chosen the winner, said winner will only have 10 days to get the rest in.
As for the subject matter, it's vague, which is both good and bad: "Our exciting new imprint will publish science fiction, fantasy, horror, alternate history, magic realism, or anything in-between. If it can be shelved in the Science Fiction/Fantasy/Horror section of your local bookstore, we want it! We're interested both in the first book in a trilogy or longer series as well as stand-alone stories."
Yikes.
Talk about time-consuming. This would pretty much have to be the only thing I'd work on. That's a big sacrifice.
Word of the Day
It is the quiddity of these days—the fears, the rapture, and the insanity—that I'll most remember in years to come.

Amen, Ash.
Does anyone have a sense of the imprint? Does it have a name/angle/theme? Can we run a background check on this guy?
