penthius freewriting entries, Facebook profile, website bio and bibliography sections. Every writer should keep a list of where to update when stories get accepted/published.
* Processed "Haunts of Hill Crossing" form letter rejection from Way of the Wizard Anthology (and by extension F&SF Magazine).
* Updated submission order for "Haunts of Hill Crossing" and submitted to Fantasy Magazine. Marveled at their submission process and stated turnaround time.
* Updated submission order for "A Phoenix By Any Other Name" and submitted to Short-Story.me!
* Emailed market that hadn't yet responded to a March submission, withdrawing "Demons of Disease" from consideration. Updated submission order and sent to the Timelines Anthology. Hope that cryogenic freezing counts as time-travel. Processed receipt acknowledgment.
* Updated status of "They'll Seal Any Leak, Guaranteed!" I'm so bad at processing ones that are "we'll tell you by X if we want it--otherwise you won't hear from us" but I was worried I'd have to start submitting out my literary stories. Shudder.
* Posted writing log.
* Did NanoWriMo--and I'm not too happy with how that experiment is working out. Will have to do massive rewrite and am not even done with the story yet.
