Waiting - not writing

My flash piece is up at AnotherRealm.com. This is the political piece that I wanted up. It will appear at AR until after the election, so maybe it's a good place for it. I hate sending to free sites, but I can't waste more time on this, even if I do like it.

I submitted the ghost stories to a site called "Ghost Whisperings". I am not sure it is what they are looking for. I am having trouble finding sites that will publish (and pay for) a Scottish Ghost story. The story is 4800 words and too long for many places. I should realy expand it out to 6000 and explore the characters a little and sub to the print mags.

I haven't heard back on the ASIM story - its been 9 days and it hasn't left the initial slush pile - someone's not doing their homework.

I had a disasterous demo on Wednesday. My programs all seemed to lock up or fail completely - in front of important people. It's a good thing that I am a consultant and they'll fire me outright instead of giving me humiliating reviews and warnings.

I need to finish a few more stories. I once had 9 stories out at the same time and now I have 3 out. (One is with Tyree at SamsDot for 80 days - he is 120 days behind on slush and rising).

As soon as I fix the bugs in the Airport Management program that I demoed yesterday, I will finish a couple of more stories. Perhaps something for Martian Wave or Fifth Dimension since they seem to like my stories.
