EDF 2008 anthology is awesome!

I got my copy of the Every Day Fiction 2008 anthology today, and it's very, very nice. You can order it here. I have two stories in it, but there are 98 stories by other authors in it too. I sat down to browse through it this morning, and the next thing I knew I'd read half of it. There are some stories that I loved that didn't make it in, but considering that EDF published 365 stories during their first year and could only fit 100 into the anthology, it's natural that not all of my favorites would make the cut.

I've bogged down on writing and started revising--Stag in Velvet currently; I've managed to hack more than 10k words out of it so far. Since my writing goes in rough cycles of write-revise-rest, I'm not surprised I've stopped work on Blood and Taxes. I may take part of tomorrow to work out an outline for it, though. That way when I come back to finish it, I can finish it quickly.

If I mention undead sharks one more time, I bet I can get to #1 on the Google search.

C'mon, write a story about undead sharks, then write a blog post about it...then when it lands in some sweet, pulpy horror-mag, you can blog about that too...

I'm actually trying very hard to come up with a story about undead sharks. Then I'll be the undead shark queen!

Which would be very cool, actually.

Undead sharks...with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads!

Damn, Jameson said what I was going to say. I am thinking undead goldfish would rock. I wouldn't have to worry about feeding them.

You could feed them braaaains. Or is that just zombies?

I've actually come up with a not-too-bad story idea for undead sharks. No laser beams, though. I wonder if I could work that in....
