Werewolves and Copyedits and Guest Posts, oh my!
This week I had two pieces of writing news that made me very happy:
1. My short story "Locked Doors" is going to be reprinted in the upcoming anthology Running With the Pack, edited by Ekaterina Sedia.
It's an anthology of urban werewolf short stories with lots of great contributors (check out the ones on the cover!) and I'm really excited to be included. Better yet, it's due to be published on May 29, 2010, so I'm guessing it'll be on sale at WisCon 2010 (making the con even more fun for me)!
2. My wonderful editor wrote to let me know that she's sending Kat Book 2, A Tangle of Magicks, over to copyediting. That means that all the major editing is finished, and we're down to mostly line edits for the rest of the process. Yay! And: that's one step closer to making it a real, published book! I feel sooooo tingly excited about this. It's also an enormous relief to know that I'll be able to keep writing straight through Kat Book 3 until that draft is finished, rather than having to take a month off to do more Kat2 editing.
(Also: how cool is my editor? She is so cool that she is also the lead singer of a really great band, Ninth Street Mission. You can download their songs for free on their website. That is pretty cool. :) )
And in other news, I guest-posted last night on Margie Gelbwasser's blog as part of her "Eight Nights of Writing Tips". My post is all about the very best writing tip I know. I hope you enjoy it!
