Evidently, the editor of this anthology is doing the contracts in a big batch, so he hasn't sent out any of them yet. I feel relieve to know I didn't put the thing in the recycle bin. So, I guess you would call it a sale after all.

I put in 2.5 K yesterday on my still un-named short story. Since the limit is 5K, I suppose I'm halfway done with the rough draft. There's a lot of silly symbols in there right now...as in We sailed south of @@@, past the island of ###, on our way toward $$$. I have to go back and consult maps and my research to fill things in, but the bones of the story are there. Glad I'm getting it done..because I now only have four stories out.

Must have five at all time....must have five at all times...Must have five at all times!

I'm listening to NPR this evening, and there's a story about feral camels in the outback. Among other people, they interviewed a man who wants to start a camel safari crew (probably out of Alice Springs).

It was our camel guide, Sam Watkins. Small World! Sam was our guide on a week-long camel trek we took a couple of years ago, filling in for the owner. We puttered around the Stony Desert, north of Coober Pedy.

Husband called a moment later..."Uh, Was that...?"
