I have a little bit of everything today.
Something I find interesting is the discussion that never seems to go away about genre vs literary. This one http://www.jeffvandermeer.com/2010/01/25/genres-of-fiction-and-why-they-arent-discrete-entities/ is one of the most civil and on point discussions I've yet to read. There's some interesting thoughts here.
Over on Charles Tan's wonderful blog he's posted an interview with short story writer Angela Slatter. http://charles-tan.blogspot.com/2010/01/interview-angela-slatter.html
I received a newsletter from Comet Press today http://www.cometpress.us/ They're planning on two new releases this year, one an extreme creature themed anthology and the second a zombie novella/novelette collection. The guidelines aren't up yet but it's something to keep in mind as you're spilling words on the computer screen. I'll post a link when the guidelines go up.
The deadline, March 31, for Kerlak Publishing's Steampunk anthology is sneaking up on us. I posted about this quite a while ago but sometimes a reminder is good. You can find all the details here http://www.kerlakpublishing.com/storycall.html This is a paying market.
And Jersey Devil Press has posted a more detailed explanation of what they're looking for in a short story for their online zine. http://www.jerseydevilpress.com/2010/01/18/behind-the-curtain/ and their fourth issue is up here http://www.jerseydevilpress.com/current_issue/

I need to write, write, write
Hard to keep up with the possiblities, isn't it?
I may or may not submit to the Jersey Devil people, but they crack me up, and that's worth something.
Are you afraid Monica will make you burst into flames for writing your Diana stories, Al? :)
