So, I realized right before five o'clock...

That today was September 30.

And thus the deadline for this quarter's Writers of the Future.

For which I hadn't prepared anything because I'm still waiting to hear back from that one market for the not!Iron Man story, and I wanted to send WotF that because it's one of three on the list that actually pays any-damn-thing for something that length.

Understand that my local post office closes at 6:30. This gave me an hour and a half to print something out that looked halfway decent and get it there.

Which I managed to do. I handwrote the return addresses on the envelopes while it was printing, because it was quicker and also saved me a buttload of aggravation, the way my printer acts with labels.

So. The Faerie Show Fic is off to Writers of the Future. Wish me luck...

Eeee, thank you! I mean, I have a PO that's open 24 hours, but it's all the way out at the airport. So, I could have done it, but it would have sucked to have to drive all the way out there and back.

I should get off my tush and send out the other stuff that's languishing on my hard drive right now. I've been terrible about flipping rejected stories lately. Too much of a writing jag, ignoring the business aspect...
