Elsewhere in social media last week, I noted that I had sold two stories in two days. Since I have now finished one pass of edits on each of them, I feel like I can say what and to whom: "Calibrated Allies" is going to Beneath Ceaseless Skies, and "Uncle Flower's Homecoming Waltz" is going to Tor.com. I am so very pleased to be working with these editors on these stories--they're very different editorial experiences, but each feels right for improving the story in question. And I am very fond of both stories.

Although honestly I'm fonder of more of my own stuff than I used to be. So that counts as progress, too.

Yay! LJ wouldn't let me post congratulations when you made the original announcement, but maybe it will relent this time.

Yay!

Congrats! *throws confetti*

I guess you were able to find your motivation for revisions after all ;)

Amazing how motivating it is when someone's willing to buy the things!

Oh, neat! I just reread "The Six Skills of Madame Lumiere" last night and was enchanted all over again.

Big time!

May I ask how long the wait was from tor.com?

Yay! I'll be looking forward to the Tor story especially; that title is enticing.

That is one of the best things I can hear about a story. Thank you.

Ok, I'm going to just withdraw the stories I have over there.

My previous submission to them was a form reject after 300+ days, so clearly something has changed.

The mysterious ways of editors! I sent my withdrawal notices, but would not be surprised to get form rejections a few months down the line, anyway. LOL.
