I published some pieces I'm deeply proud of this year. My second novel, one of my most personal novelettes, one of my weirdest short stories, and an essay on an idea that's been nagging me for years.

Did you know that there's a store in Scotland called Trespass? So if someone who lives in Scotland tells you they got something from Trespass, they don't mean that they stomped onto someone's land and stole it?

Loved narrating this wonderful crow-filled story!
New story this morning! The Crow's Second Tale in @bcsmagazine.bsky.social ! www.beneath-ceaseless-skies.com/stories/the-... This is one of my stories that is 100% not autobiographical except the part that is, which is that I tell stories to crows too, just in case.

Loved narrating this wonderful crow-filled story!
I'm in the current issue of Analog. I managed to negotiate to a contract I was willing to sign. Naively, I thought that established writers giving this feedback would eventually make a dent.
It hasn't. I don't know that it will. I just wrote to Trevor withdrawing a story I'd sold to him.

Did you read my post from last week about how contract woes caused me to withdraw an accepted story from F&SF, ending my 54-year quest to be published in that magazine? But wait (as the saying goes) — there's more! Scroll down at the link for an update. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...
