Getting going again...

Writers need thick skins as a general rule. Alas, the slings and arrows of outraged fortune (and editors) managed to get through mine and I spent the past month wallowing in a bout of "I'll never be any good."

Nevermind that people who know (one of whom recently had stuff published at Beneath Ceaseless Skies and y'all should read it) say I'm far less sucky than I think I am.

Anyway, over the past week, I finally managed to push the metaphorical wagon out of the ditch, catch the mule, get her back in the harness and start going...without the whip, this time. Maybe I'll try for NaNoWriMo, but if I do, it'll only be to see if I can get A Paradox of Archons finished, since that's what seems to be tickling my fancy right now.

And I sent two rejected stories back out again, to get rejected again. But maybe this time...maybe...
