Things I learned yesterday

Having two short stories turned down in two days (Past is Epilog and a reprint) is a lot easier to bear when I’ve sold several stories recently to counter-balance (seeing the latest Applied Science story out helps a lot).
•Apparently eHow won’t be the sum total of my nonfiction: I’m doing a freelance assignment for the Raleigh Public Record later this week.
•Regardless of the fact I know I can do it, the thought of a new market and a new deadline makes me slightly nervous.
•Wrapping up my eHows for the day after dinner is a Big Mistake. I frequently overrun my 5 p.m. quitting time, but at least having a sense of quitting time keeps me focused; working in the evening, I can just go on and on taking far too much time to get things done (particularly when I leave a lot of eHow work until that time).
