Spring has sprung

I saw robins on the grass yesterday. Robins!! In northern New England in March!!

Spring means new starts, so I'm bringing other news: now that the kids are more or less in a routine, my career is more or less back on track. To wit:

Spinetingler published one of my short stories, "Dream House," in its new Spring 2007 edition.

And in a moment of sheer insanity, I did an on-site interview in preparation for a new article. After I said I wasn't doing any more articles because I had no time or enough childcare to do interviews. However, this is local. That has less to do with arranging childcare than with the fact that it involves the fire department whose EMTs delivered my son... so everyone knows I have young kids. We'll see how that shakes out. I'm still querying markets for that one.

Meanwhile, I have my eye on other short story markets, including some contests. It's all about putting the work out there - especially when writing it can be agonizingly slow at times!
