And Now With Amazon
I spent yesterday revising the story I wrote a few weeks ago: proofreading, revising, checking continuity against other stories and novels in the same universe, looking up the scientific names of plants, looking up the names of minor characters in other works, adding bits of the world's history, doing general research. I felt tired by the end of the day and as of my brain had been hollowed out, but I was glad to get the work done. I had marked up a printed copy of the story the day before but I was glad to get the intensive work largely done.
As a friend said to me tonight: I can do nothing thoughtlessly. I'm not one to tear the last page out of the typewriter (or out of the printer) and send it off, as-is, to a publisher.
I also read over the title-less story I'm calling (for now) "Inspired by 'The Ebony Frame
' and I spent the evening reading a book about science fiction publishing. I took some pictures with my new (used) camera, bought a camera bag so I won't drop it on the rocks of York beach, and had lunch at Moe's.

Better luck tomorrow.
I also set it up so you can support this website buy buying the anthology I appear in:
and I made a few background changes to this site and to LisaShapter.com. That was plenty for one evening.
