Ayah. I need to update more often. Blogger ate my template, which basically meant that even though I posted an update, it wouldn't actually UPDATE because the template went kaput. And I couldn't just take the source code and paste it, because of the blogger tags. So, basically, I had to choose the old template and go through the code line by line with the source until I could restore everything. I haven't updated the sidebars yet because it's more finicky template work and I've wasted enough time already, but for the most part, Expansinations is restored! Hurrah! So, without further ado, here is:

Okay, in the big news, I MADE MY FIRST PROFESSIONAL SALE!!!! Tides of Change has been sold to Julie, and will be appearing in TALES FROM THE WONDER ZONE: ODYSSEY in May.
And in even more big news, Weird Tales asked me to resubmit the story after trimming it a little, because they really like it and want to use it. HURRAY!
Savage Beast got a great rejection from Black Gate -- personalized, saying he REALLY regretted turning it down and wanted to see more. I sent him Jory, which was on-hand but I'm not sure is right for him, and I'm prepping Princesses for the next round.
I'm also considering pulling The Hunt back out and tinkering with that for a bit.
Savage Beast has to go back out, I just don't know where yet, and Mirror, Mirror is at Weird Tales.
I'm a professionally published author!!!!! Wheeeee!!!!!

Ellen rejected Jory -- liked the story, wants to see more by me, can't take it for the site, though she did suggest an alternative.
I've decided to add a scene and submit it to Imaginings. It's only 600 words shy of the minimum word count, and there was always a little more I wanted to do with it.
