Well.

The Merc&theSnake fic, which I'm calling "Fortunes of Soldiers" has been beaten into shape, formatted, printed, and shipped off to Writers of the Future.

*wibbles*

I finished this thing in record time, folks, and it came to just under 4,000 words. Many, many thanks to those who took the time to give me crit on it, because it is much improved from the initial version I posted. You guys all ROCK. And that includes the Hubby, who never sugar-coats his opinion just to spare my feelings.

I managed to hide his motivations a little better in the final draft, and the last scene is far better than it was. I always go through about four or five revisions for action scenes.

Of course, I still haven't heard back from them about the BeagleFic from last quarter. No news is good news, right?

ARGH.

Now that I'm actually writing original fic and sending it hither and yon, I thought it might be a good idea to keep track of where I've sent stuff, response times, etc, in a spreadsheet.

I can't find my WordPerfect CD.

I never installed Quattro Pro because I didn't think I needed spreadsheet type stuff. I've been happily toddling along without it for lo, this past over-a-year. *sigh*

So, now I'm DLing OpenOffice. Which has a spreadsheet thing. Yayness.
