Worked a little bit on my 2012 A.D. story. It doesn't have a title yet but bringing about the end of the world is kinda fun. I hope to finish it sometime this weekend and then have it sent off by the end of next week. (You will note how I am setting my sights low and taking my time)
Also managed to go deer hunting yesterday. I think I managed to walk about seven miles through the timber and I saw a lot of deer, unfortunately for me and fortunately for them, they saw me first so the only shot I got off was at one on a dead run (no, he wasn't a zombie deer) at about 60 or 75 yards. I would have to be a lot better shot with a handgun than I am to hit that target, and I don't care how big the critter is.
Other than that I heard nothing from any editor yesterday, although Michael Knost said that he broke his own record yesterday and accepted two stories yesterday. Unfortunately, I don't have anything out to him right now. Also apex is running a new blog today. One of their editors is talking about what it is like for her to go through the slush pile. Slush Lessons:
Well here is to a productive second day of the year and I wish all of you a merry weekend before the holiday season is officially over and we all must get back to normal.

Good article, and a confession to wit:
Hi I'm Jeremy...
Hi, Jeremy
...and I'm powerless over switching tense in mid-story.
Hard to say how much time I've wasted going back to fix that in stories, where one minute the characters are sitting in a car talking, and the next minute they are enjoying a cocktail at Millyway's Restaurant at the End of the Universe discussing hello,-how-did-you-do?
Tense switching is something I have struggled with ever since I started writing. My one true problem, followed by grammar and spelling. some days it is a miracle I have had anything published.
At this point I'm looking forward to getting back to normal. Also, I'm greatly amused that my blog listing on your page is accompanied by a picture of cuddling men. This new year is starting off very well : )
PS: It was 17. You can imagine my confusion at the effusive praise ; )
Zombie deer, hehe. They're after graaaains.
YAY! for Bambi. :)
Cate- I will admit I root for the little guys too (probably why I handicap myself with a short range weapon) but one of the little buggers tried to get my car last night. Again.
Wait...an undead, carjacking deer? You live in a much cooler neighborhood than I.
I understand the curse of the wayward deer. I've had two cars K-O'd by the things.
Okay...graaaains. That's funny.
My wife is not a zombie fan and she got a kick out of that.
Graiiins is hilarious. And think of the stories you could tell about the head of the zombie deer mounted on your wall...
