Humm...
In 2 days, on Jan 2, it will be 2 months from a poetry submission to A&A. They generally say there to query in 2 months if you haven't heard back, but I don't know if that applies to just the fiction, or to all catagories they publish. Also there are the holidays, and should allowances be made for that? Trent is a busy man, after all...
Re: Name Mispelling in Abaculus 2007. The typo is only on the ToC and Copyright page - the name on the story is correctly spelled; however, in the short bio the word Extraterrestrial should have been in cap, seeing as how it is part of a title.
New Year's Resolution: only one. Get a story done each month. No weight res, no resolution that can't be met. If I can't do that, then it is just plain laziness.
I asked this question on a Jay Lake post, but he hasn't replied, so I'll throw it up here. With his progress reports on his conversion of a short ot a novel, I wondered -- is it easier to adapt a short story to novel length, or is it easier to starting a novel fresh with the intention of it being a novel? I'm sure that there is an individual issue with it, but I am curious.
Saw AvP:R this weekend. I liked it, but not as much as I thought I might. It is a good sequel to the first, taking place immediately afterwards. It also ended very open, but leaving me thinking, "whhaaaat...?" and implying Predator vs Human sequel instead of an AvP. Over all, with this and a couple other less-than-logical moments and such, I'd give it a 3.5 out of 5 warpholes.

Poetry at A&A
If you need to query, please go ahead and send an email. To editor at abyssandapex dot com, not to poetrysubs at yahoo dot com (poetry ed can't access that address easily!)
You can also email me and I'll see what I can do.
Re: Poetry at A&A
I only sent a single little poem I wrote a decade ago, anyway, in the body of the submission. I've found a few interesting things I did years ago with my file scanning. A couple of old stories are gonna get a face lift, too, and hit the sub-rail again.
