It seemed appropriate...
On a whim, I sent "All the Lonely People" off to Weird Tales this morning. It hasn't been as edited to death as I'd like normally -- the only real feedback I've gotten aside from "very strange" were a few comments from Julie -- but I figured what the heck. Their submission guidelines said very specifically that they like fiction below 1000 words, so why not? Besides, it makes me feel better to have something out circulating.
Another 600+ words on "Computer Dating" this morning, in which our heroine is menaced by a scary stalker-type. That was a great deal of fun to write. I've noticed that when I get to a 'good part' I write so much faster than when things are sort of directionless. I love those moments. That's when the story starts to take on its own life. Still looking into various aspects of artificial intelligence. I spent a good part of yesterday reading about Alan Turing, which was interesting in and of itself.
