Looks like the spammers came back from the holiday early. The pill-pushers and, ehem, phalus expansion crowd are up to their usual tricks. It’s the penny stock pump and dumpers that have the rest. Never ever buy a stock off these emails. You will lose. Today’s bait is APWL. Stay… Continue reading
Today, I overcame yet another bout of lethargy. Yesterday, I managed to put down a very painful 850 words on my current work in progress, a short story called “Chemical Soup.” We’ve been doing so much work around the house that I didn’t have many ergs left for writing, yet… Continue reading

I am supposed to go for an orientation meeting on December 4 to see the software and hear… Continue reading
I just received an interesting rejection from Between Kisses. They like my story, but it’s too long. They offered to buy it for their children’s magazine, Beyond Centauri. Considering I planned to send it there next, it saves me the trouble. www.ricknovy.com

Issue #3 of Orson Scott Card’s Intergalactic Medicine Show went live today. The cost is $2.50, which gives you permanent access to that issue (just like buying it off a newsstand and throwing it in the closet). I have a very good collection of TOC-mates. Tim Pratt is an emerging… Continue reading
