Triple whammy

"Save Galaxy Fast!" has been accepted for the CSFG's Outcast anthology! It'll be launched by Sean Williams at Conjure (the Australian National Science Convention) in Brisbane, Easter 2006!

Shadow Box is released sometime next week!

Daikaiju! 2 has also been upgraded (sidegraded?) from an e-antho to a full-fledged paper one!

Novel juggling

I've decided to write two novels concurrently: Ante Body and a comic fantasy I've been ruminating on for a while.
I'd abandoned it because I came across a published book by someone else that already used one of the central ideas. Plus I doubted the potential of comic fantasy. Now I've accepted that the genre is closer to my natural writing voice so I'll go with how I feel (cue stirring, tacky 80's synth music). Plus, .Richard Harland is kicking butt with comic fantasy, so it can even be done in Australia.
I've found a way to toss the used idea and run with others. I'm now deep in world building, sketching out races, places, customs, cities, history, etc etc

Back to comic HF

I've finished a comic high fantasy, Girl Power, and put it up for critique. I started it about a year ago but ran into writers block and left it sitting for a long time.
Also finished a piddly SF of 400 words, Weeding. I think it needs a lot of work before anyone can see it. It's far too short, too. I need to learn to waffle.
Shadow Box comes out at the end of the month, and (in theory) I find out any day now if I made the cut for Outcast.

I also submitted a little story to Specusphere.
