I awoke to a great half-dream that will make an awesome story. (now I just have to write down the premise before I forget it). It&#8217;s not so great because I want to get a few things around the house completed before I head over to hang out with some of my favourite writers for camaraderie and mutual cheer-leading.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m very excited because I set up the final two sections of my next novel to be edited. I have less than 8000 words left to proofread and then it&#8217;s on to the final polishing. <em>&#8216;Hiding in Plain Sight&#8217;<\/em> should be online and ready for sale by the end of June. Whee!!<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, I&#8217;ve got 2 short stories almost ready for sale and two more about to be proofread. Smashwords and a few of the distributors have a short story sections in their online stores. I figure it&#8217;s time to start experimenting with them. <\/p>\n<p>And of course, I&#8217;ll remind you that <a href=\"http:\/\/aescifi.ca\">AESCIFI<\/a> is still looking for sponsors and backers to help them get their online\/print magazine off the ground. If you&#8217;re looking for an investment or advertising opportunity, take a look. They&#8217;re doing their fundraising through <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/aescifi\/the-new-face-of-canadian-science-fiction\">kickstarter<\/a>, so everything is above-board and legitimate.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been in a writing group with Helen for a couple of years and have had several conversations with Duff about the project. They are real people and their plans for this magazine are bang on the money. <\/p>\n<p>While they&#8217;re fundraising they&#8217;re running a <a href=\"http:\/\/aescifi.ca\/index.php?nav=contest\">Microfiction contest<\/a>. Even if you&#8217;re not interested in entering, read the entries, some of them are quite good. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s amazing how those few seconds of, &#8220;Gosh I feel great, so refreshed.&#8221; can turn into &#8220;Oh CRAP!&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[93,7,92,94,6],"class_list":["post-544","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-randommusings","tag-aescifi","tag-editing","tag-kickstarter","tag-microfiction-contest","tag-writing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/544","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=544"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/544\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":552,"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/544\/revisions\/552"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=544"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=544"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/suenelsonbuckley.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=544"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
