All the news that I can think of

[eimarra]

First, I finally filled out the application for SFWA (Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America), and I’ve received notice that my application was approved. I am now a full-fledged pro by the standards of that body (three professional short story sales).

Second, my short story “Pretty Bauble” is scheduled to be in issue 117 of Space & Time Magazine. I’m not sure when that will be out, but I’ll let you know when I do. (For those of you who may have short stories, the magazine is open to submissions until August 5.)

Third, David Bridger is running a wonderful week-long group therapy for writers on his blog this week, helping people think about what their personal obstacles are to writing and what they can do to overcome them. (I posted on Monday, but I’m dropping out. Through no fault of the commenters, some of the things said trigger negative feelings for me, which leaves me in a place I don’t like to be. However, I recommend everyone check it out and see how it works for them.)

I’ll be back tomorrow for a Q & A that has nothing to do with my writing life.

So what’s new with you this week?

Congratulations on your SFWA approval and your new story acceptance! :)

Hugs for the negative feelings, Erin. I hope you're okay now. And thanks for your valuable input over there.

Thanks, David! The story was accepted a while back; I've just been waiting for word on when it would be published.

And thanks again for doing the posts. Very valuable. :)
