Yee-ha! W00t! Excelsior!
|
|
<p>I got email from Dr. Stanley Schmidt, the editor of <cite>Analog</cite>,<br />
|
|
about an hour ago. The bad news was, he turned down the short story. The<br />
|
|
good news was he accepted the fact article.</p>
|
|
<p>I’m going to be published in <cite>Analog</cite>!</p>
|
|
<p><em><em>/me does geeky victory dance</em></em></p>
|
|
<p>OK, so this is one of those things where if you don’t immediately<br />
|
|
get why it’s wicked cool, no amount of explanation is likely to<br />
|
|
enlighten you. I’ll just say I’ve been a science-fiction fan<br />
|
|
for 35 years and <cite>Analog</cite> has always been the banner-bearer<br />
|
|
for my kind of SF, the stuff with the rivets in it. I’ve wanted to<br />
|
|
get published there when I grew up ever since I was 11 years old;<br />
|
|
this is literally a childhood dream come true.</p>
|
|
<p>Oh. And Dr. Schmidt asked me to send him more fiction…</p>
