I assiduously avoided the sun, and ...Thanks, Kelly! I assiduously avoided the sun, and still got sunburnt, but not too badly. I did, however, find out what horrible shape I am in; while toasting some opponents in beach volleyball, I dove for a ball and strained my shoulder. Ouch. I played through it for the full three games, and we won, but I got a taste of not keeping in shape and why I should be doing that.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the subs info. I had sent them something last year as part of the slush thing on the board, and I didn't like the process, though I see the value of it. I guess I just like the old "You're the editor, you decide" model of submission. <I>Viel glueck</I> on the Baen sub, though!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16769486.post-19968985554433992762007-03-20T14:35:00.000-05:002007-03-20T14:35:00.000-05:00Sean: welcome back!

Of course, Mr. Flint is currently reading stories from April 2006 so it'll be a while before he works his way down the pile. <BR/><BR/>Anonymous: While I appreciate that you've stopped by and checked the place out, you've made me realize I've finally reached enough stature to warrant turning off the "anonymous" feature. While you are certainly entitled to your own opinion (and you've done a nice job at not being vulgur or rude while doing so), if you're going to visit my blog and post them, you're going to do it under your own name.Kelly Swailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08712523963592799928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16769486.post-5357882016088676182007-03-17T12:12:00.000-05:002007-03-17T12:12:00.000-05:00I read your post over at Jenny Rappaport's blog. Y...I read your post over at Jenny Rappaport's blog. You've fallen into her trap. Can't you see that she relishes rejecting writers? It's a literary agent's power trip. Don't commend her for publishing those statistics. Look at the authors she publishes at Amazon's rankings. How well do they do? <BR/><BR/>We'll never know how well the one's she's rejected would have done. Literary agents serve their own tastes, not the reading public's. They love the headiness of total control over a writer's destiny. See her for what she is. Her haughtiness in the process of rejection should chill you as it should every writer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16769486.post-30972756181924742872007-03-17T09:55:00.000-05:002007-03-17T09:55:00.000-05:00X,Good luck at Baen's.
