I'm going to have to email Analog at the end of the week to see what the holdup is with Severance Pay.

[Lupine]

But only a couple of hours after writing that Analog rejected it.

[RJDiogenes]

Aww, man. Did they give any comments?

[Lupine]

^Only that it wasn't right for them. In retrospect the story might be too esoteric.

[RJDiogenes]

Try Asimov's. Same publisher, but they're a bit more avant garde.

[Lupine]

^Tried them before Analog. Got rejected in a day.

[RJDiogenes]

Oh, right. Damn.

[australis]

Better late than never.

Cool!

[RJDiogenes]

Thank you.

[Jim Gamma]

37 done tonight. Another 3 or so and I can start editing. This is definitely gonna be a cliffhanger...

[RJDiogenes]

Yikes. I better get going. I'm about two-thirds of the way through Murder The World.

[Lupine]

^Yea!

[RJDiogenes]

If it wasn't for Halloween, I'd probably be done by now.

[Jim Gamma]

Chapter 40 is done! And it ends on a very emotional note. Editing to start next week.

[Jim Gamma]

Editing pass 1 done.

This one is called "A Melody Played" (as in It's Only A Paper Moon - but I'm not using that as the title, it's too obvious and actually a bit of a spoiler). Whether I should quote the whole line ("A Melody Played in a Penny Arcade") I don't know, part of me wants to, but then I do like short and snappy titles.

I've sent RJ some options on cover image.
