lower molar tooth was bugging me last night. Giving me enough pain to let me know it was there, so I got up and worked on my story and answered some emails until about 4:45am and then I did the cbi thing and went back to bed and I was able to sleep from 5-11am. That’s when the cats start roaming around in our bed trying to get our attention wanting food when we’re trying to sleep. Well, some of us. I got a good 6 hours sleep.

Right now I’m having my first coffee.

Most likely I’ll answer some more emails and then go to work on the story. I’m still a bit tired but writing energizes me and I feel better. When I get the printer later this month from my vacation pay I’ll print the story and work on it. For most e-zines length doesn’t matter. The story could be anything from 1000 words to 10,000 words. Of course most e-zines pay $5-10 bucks a story. I don’t really care too much about payment. I mean it’s nice to get something for ones work, yes. The best I’ve seen for science fiction story payment wise was from Sci-fi wire when they published fiction at 20 cents a word. Anyway, that’s all for now.
