With news of slow global chocolate production, thank God for this   Hmmm ... well, no one managed to nab the official 10,000 visitors page, so the free copy of Adventures of Sword and Sorcery remains unclaimed. I'll have to think up something else, eh? Big congratulations to Linda Dunn for her sale to the S&S anthology! This is Linda's first sale in awhile, and it's great to see her getting back on her feet. I know there will be several more coming soon--heck, she's the runner up in the 1995 Campbel award, so you know she can write! Received a rejection from TomorrowSF a day or two ago, which mean's I've broken 40 for the year. No big deal, I suppose. And I've managed to critique a few stories. In particular, I think you'll be seeing more of a Lisa Silverthorne story entitled "The Sacredness of Ordinary Things". I'm getting ready to dive back into my Europa story that regular readers will know I was working on a few weeks ago. But most of my time the past week has been spent doing "homework" for the Dynamic HTML class I've been taking. It's a lot of fun, and I'm learning how to do some pretty cool things with it. Not sure I'll use a whole lot right away here. Based on my preliminary returns on the "informal poll", something under half my readers' browsers can't handle the strain of dynamic pages . . . Maybe when the 5.0 browsers come out his summer (?). We'll see. In the mean time, lazy Sunday's are wonderful times for writing, don't you think?.  Daily Persistence is © Ron Collins |
