Finished a story!
I wrote a story that I like, that's not too long, that doesn't have any expository lumps, that's not too personal to share, and that has a nice mix of dark & funny. Yay!
Now I have to decide where to submit it. I'm thinking Strange Horizons, because they're a pro market, they're online, and they're free, which is cool, and is probably the wave of the future. Thought of subbing to Jim Baen's Universe, but they require a subscription to read, which I'm not wild about. I can get Analog on the newsstand and only have to pay for one issue. Also Universe has you submit to a slush conference forum, which might be the greatest idea ever, or might suck. This is only my second time subbing a story so I don't like the idea of it being kicked around in public (which might not be how that slush forum works, I'm still investigating).
If I want to be old-school and use paper, I'll sub to the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, probably. They say they want more SF and more humor. I also have to read a bit of Analog and Asimov's and see what kind of stuff they're publishing nowadays.
Still mulling it over...advice is welcome.
