Another Update on Rising Above

The short story collection is moving nicely into the home stretch. I've been on non-traveling vacation this week, and I've gotten a lot of work done on the book. I've done two rounds of editing on all 25 stories (actually, it's only about eight genuine stories, with the rest being creatively bloated sketches) and have the order of stories pretty much set. The only two questions left are: a) whether or not to edit the whole damned thing one more time; and b) whether to print the final copy at home and burn through an ink cartridge and a ream of paper, or have Kinko's deal with it.

The submission deadline is September 30.
