First, and most importantly, a huge and heartfelt congratulation to my friend and fellow Clarion West graduate Gord Sellar. He has been selected and can be found on the John W. Campbell Award ballot. You totally deserve it! I looked over the Hugo awards last night and there are many, many deserving names there. And a lot of fiction I need to go read. I’m too far behind.

Second, I started the final draft of “Restless” last night and the words poured out like melted butter. Hopefully, the rest of the work goes this smoothly. I might need a few more drafts to work out the kinks in the prose, but otherwise it’s going down on paper the way I want it. I finished the first scene and moved into the next. I think I can make this an actual short story now. Maybe even get it below 6k.

Third, it’s Friday. Happy Friday!

Fourth, I have the MP3 from the critique class last weekend converted. I’ll upload it this weekend and find some way to get a link to it. I haven’t done a lot of audio on the web, so we’ll just have to see how well that works. This is a really informal presentation, so I doubt the general public is going to get much use out of it, but I’ll make it available just in case.
