The countdown to 100 rejections continues. I received my 98th this morning.

The editors had some good things to say about the story (”That Others May Live” [The link is to a snippet of a previous version. Some of it has changed since then.]) and pointed out what might be the major flaw. More thought and more work is needed on this one, I think. I think I also know how to fix that flaw. I will be contemplating the technical details on that over the weekend.

In other news, Barbara has awarded me the Brilliante Weblog award. Thanks, Barbara! That is quite an honor, and I appreciate it very much. Now I just have to find seven bloggers to pass it on to. That is going to be tough, considering how many really high-quality blogs I read. It may take a few days to decide.
