I've sold The Company Car.
Editing pass completed
After going to a friend's birthday dinner tonight I returned home and managed a pass through the 1,000-word horror story that I wrote a few weeks ago.

Transcription complete

This is me sending out a story again
After much dragging of my feet, I've finally picked a new market to send one of my stories too. Don't know why it took so long other than just inertia. The MS is printed, the SASE included (for easy rejection), and it's all set to go to the post office.
The water fight
Got in a water fight at Ad Astra's dance, which was totally not my fault. No matter what anyone says. Really.
