Got a lovely reject from Black Gate today--"Almost!" underlined in blue pen, and then a few points on why it was almost, but not quite.

So they've now got a longish murder mystery, and all my stories that are not sold or trunked are out. And I'm still burned out. New Locus arrived today, so I read that, and I bought some terrible 80's music (Berlin and Supertramp), two Robin Hobb books, and a copy of Dozois' YBSF 17 at the beloved used book store today. And my tummy is upset for some reason. Hmm. There must be some generic Tums equivalent around here somewhere...
