Writing update
Except there's not much to update.
I'm trying to sell a couple of short stories. TRIB'S WAR and STEALING THE SUN are with my agent. RIDER: A NOVEL is awaiting one last reader's examination before I send it along to him.
I've been writing stories set in the modern day, at Bay Meadows racetrack. Which is going to be torn down and developed for condos and stores some time in the next few years -- just another victim of the eternal profit motivation.
Anyway, it's frustrating. It's frustrating to get rejects in the first place; it's frustrating when they contain cryptic comments that you go crazy trying to decipher; it's frustrating when they have the rejecting editor's own (not very impressive) sales attached as a .sig file.
And it's particularly frustrating to go back to something I wrote in 2002, tried to sell, and couldn't, and realize that not only is it not good enough to sell, it's not even in Standard Manuscript Format.
Sigh.
