Sale and not a bad problem to have
Yes, before the first story is out yet, I can announce that I have made yet another sale to Analog, for the story Geospermia, or the "pandas on Mars" story some of you may remember me talking about.
With my recent sale to Giganotosaurus, this brings my number of sales this year to three, out of five submissions, which brings me to the following problem: I have no short fiction left that I'm reasonably sure will sell anywhere major. Yeah, I have a bit of chicken feed, stories that are too cute or fluffy to sell, or that have been around the traps for yonks. I'll keep periodically submitting these in the hope that they'll stick somewhere, but there are no major, meaty stories left. I've barely written any short fiction for about a year.
