More good progress. Not a whole lot more to say, I guess. I mean, how many ways can you say "I did pretty good."   Well, let's just say the 65,000 marker passed in relative silence. Yes, that's right. No one claimed the prize. Geeze. All I can figure is that the lucky number 65000 must already have had a copy of the October 2000 issue of Analog. Otherwise I might start to thinking some of you out there are pretty cold, and I wouldn't want to think that way, you know? [grin] So, here's what I'm going to do. New prize level, counter = 65,100. First person who e-mails me their number after 65,100 gets the prize. In other words, if the counter reads 65103, you send me that number in an e-mail. If 65100, 65101, or 65102 don't claim this incredibly valuable piece of literature, you're the lucky winner. Simple, eh? Let me take a moment to recognize a couple friends who've been having a bit of success. Vera Nazarian has completed her Compass Rose "noveloid" and delivered it to Wildside. Linda Dunn sold to Analog again, Toby Buckell put a story into The Book of All Flesh, WotF buddyAmy Casil had already turned in Imago to Wildside and is waiting to see it in hardcover, and my other WotF buddy Scott Nicholson will soon see his novel "Red Church" out in mass paperback. Great stuff, eh? BTW, if you haven't checked out Vera's NAWticisms page lately, you owe it to yourself to get thee hence. I've always enjoyed Vera's ability to pull quotes like this. Have a good one.  Daily Persistence is © Ron Collins |
