How frustrating! I've never had something like that happen, but good for you for having all kinds of documentation to prove your case. Hope everything works out!

Okay, so I'm an idiot. The above comment was in response to a comment that I approved and then through the power of not paying a damned bit of attention managed to unapprove and delete from existence. So for perspective, the always awesome John Hornor Jacobs (http://bastardizedversion.blogspot.com/) had this to say:

"YOU ARE PATHETIC. DROP AND GIVE ME 2000 WORDS ON BRIGHTER THAN SUNSHINE!!!!!

NOW!!!!"

Sir! Yes Sir! I'll knock them out tonight!

Oft-quoted brilliance is usually under 150 words. In this profession, some is always better than none. Yea, for you!

Oh, and thanks! I'm only teaching one class for the next couple of months, so hopefully I'll have a lot more writing time.

It is coming, or rather they are coming, I'm working on two different ones at the moment (which is why I pulled the tracker from the sidebar). Progress is being made, one is historical fantasy (Brighter than Sunshine), the other is something along the lines of literary I guess (Bittersweet). I haven't touched a new short since December, but the pieces I had finished I've kept submitting and thankfully here and there they're getting picked up. When do I get to see The Incorruptibles?

I'm honestly surprised Lewis didn't win, he trounced Anthony Monday in the early rounds and Dixon kept facing off against Dixon match after match (or at least it seemed that way). Maybe he'll have a better chance next year (with a different draw).

Aw. I was hoping for a Lewis Barnevelt win but shi...
