This first post and this second one, here's the third!

I submitted four pieces of original fiction to four different markets at the end of April. Well, all right, five if you wanna count the April 2018 Writeoff...

To do this, but once I realized it was happening, I decided to make an actual goal out of it. Could I get four original stories finished and submitted to four different markets by the end of the fourth month of the year? Details follow.

Working my way through the various bits of fiction that have been nominated for this year's Nebula Awards--voting deadline's at the end of March! I've got one more of the novels to get to--though on my ballot, Mur Lafferty's Six Wakes is the one to beat followed closely by Daryl Gregory's Spoonbenders--and I've just started working my way through the short fiction nominees.

Decided to revive an ancient tradition around these parts and have a "Secret Santa" story exchange for the season.

That snuck up on me is the Christmas episode of my radio show, The Darkling Eclectica. I won't be able to do the show next Sunday, y'see, since Christmas Eve involves me singing for about four of the seven hours between 4PM and 11PM. So I'll hafta do the Christmas show this afternoon.

Kinda snuck up on me. I submitted it to the website in question, Silver Blade, back in September, did some rewriting at the editor's prompting early in November, and only discovered yesterday that they'd finally posted it.

If I can remember that far back...

Not only did I actually say hello to someone, but for the first time in 30 or 40 years of convention going, I asked a question at a panel!

Is the Equestria LA convention this weekend, which fortunately doesn't actually take place in L.A.
