Monday again
So there's a local SF group of fans and writers ( R-SPEC ) that meets at the B&N up the road once a month. And they're taking subs for an anthology about life in Rochester in 2034. Which doesn't sound all that far away, but then earlier today I happened on an article about how everyday life changed when people shifted from horses to engines, so...the pt is, things do change. That's the whole reason behind the "What If?" story, right?

Anyway, the deadline is June 15 and I'm thinking, well, that's great but I can't possibly figure out a story set in Rochester and make it work in that time span--except I already do have one in the trunk. Some 15 years ago (give or take) "Bushido" garnered "like it, but not enough to buy it" rejections from everywhere. Methinks it's time to pull it out and try to massage it into shape for a new phase of rejections.

Of course, by "massage" I mean rip out all the crap that doesn't work and nail in the new, improved bits without losing what made me want to tell this story in the first place.
