Saturday morning. Waiting, eternally it seems, to hear back from magazines, agents and publishers over the many submissions I've made over the last few weeks. I guess that's just part and parcel of the writer's life. Oh, well...I'll just keep waiting.
Taking poor Fred the Wonder Terrier to see his doggie doctor today. Poor guy, his tummy's giving him lots of problems. He's not eating much, either. Fingers crossed.
Rewriting "The Return of Doctor Schull" from top to bottom. I'm trying very diligently to follow Heinlein's Rules of Writing - especially "show, don't tell." It can be tough because it's forcing me to rewrite almost the whole thing, but the results are better than expected. More action, more atmosphere, and a lot less boring exposition. Once I'm done, it goes back out on the market...that's another of Heinlein's rules: put your writing out on the market and keep it there until it sells.
That's the writer's life for you!
