A Week of Different Posts: Day Six
Post Six of Seven Days
Fun day. It’s been a fun week. Back at normal tomorrow night. Actually looking forward to normal again.
ANTHOLOGY WORKSHOP WRITERS!!!!
If any of you turned in a story on some screwy e-mail provider such as Verizon or Microsoft or Comcast, I got the story fine but could not tell you I got it. Sorry. I’ll try to get one of my other e-mail providers who can talk to such providers to respond tomorrow. I won’t send the stories to the editors until tomorrow night (Monday night) to make sure I got everything.
Second, new assignment will be sent out tomorrow night. So please don’t ask me where it is at. Thanks.

Hi Dean. Did that newsletter ever go out? I signed up but haven’t seen anything. Should I scour my spam folder or has it been delayed?
Thanks.

Nope, not yet. Toward the end of January and then every month after that, if not every two weeks, depending on news and such. Thanks for asking!

This excellent rant by Harlan Ellison about writers not demanding payment for their writing-related work was linked to from Passive Guy today and I thought you might agree with the sentiment, Dean!

The rant is from 2007 but has come up in the context of writers (including Phillip Pulman) boycotting the Oxford Literature Festival (UK) because they don’t pay the writers.
Really top-quality ranting.
