Writing Reading Diary: September 21, 2004
Well, I’ve been a bit lax in posting my writing and reading diaries. (Sound of one hand slapping the back of the other.) There. That’ll teach me.

br /In any event, yesterday and today (and last week) I worked on emExcalibur Reforged/em. I’m now doing line by line rewriting and rethinking, a slow but enjoyable process; I’m about 30 pages into the 300-page manuscript. This is where I incorporate the comments of my critiquers.

br /Yesterday I also did quite a bit of Web site work and some market research, and found a couple of possibilities for current or future manuscripts; I hope to get something off to at least one of them before long. Today, of course, was science column day, as you can see from below.

br /On the reading side, I’m back with emAsimov/em’s, working on the current (double) issue. I’ve also got the new emDiscover/em. I’m between books.
