Well, now that it’s past the end of Dec, I can say that I was accepted into a writing class from Odyssey, a high-profile organization, just under, say, Clarion. Accepted, because you had to include 1000 words of your writing (and I included the beginning of the next novel in the Terran Confederation universe… and that’s the one where it’s created).
On another note – if someone from elsewhere in the world than the US tried to register, contact me – for example, I see wordfence blocked someone from Poland.
And yes, I’m still waiting to hear from Baen as to whether they’re going to “rehome” 11,000 Years.
