The exploration of “Unexplored Space” continues with Sectors 30-32.
There
are more young colonies to be explored, and even some well established
ones. There are more remnants of the Glikth-machine war, and even a few
abandoned Organic colonies. Plus there are other mysteries, including a
possible solution to the greatest danger that faces travelers of
Hyperspace...

The frustrations of writing
Last night I started on a new story, and it was going really well. I managed to get 1,500 words written, which is good considering I have three kids, but then I suddenly realized I had done the one thing that authors hate most...or maybe it's one of the many things authors hate most. I'd painted myself into a corner, with no way to get out. Somehow I'd gone left when the story should have gone right.
I had no choice but to go back and cut some of the story out...going all the way back to where I first detoured. So, when all was said and done, the 1,500 words I'd written became 350. Oh well, I can still work with what I have. I'll just be more careful to stick with the original idea...

No sale
A couple of days ago I wrote about finishing a story for an anthology that I'd been invited to contribute to. It turns out that the editor actually liked the story. Unfortunately, he didn't receive enough submissions to actually publish the anthology, so the story is homeless.
Earlier today, I re-wrote the first line of the story, which was completely necessary as the story started with a very cliched line (which it actually had to have for the anthology), and sent it on its way. Now it will start to make its way from magazine to magazine until someone actually decides they like it enough to publish it. I'm confident that this will happen at some point...but what that magazine will be is hard to say.
