Well, I submitted "Thirst" to the "Distant Worlds" anthology. We'll see what comes of it. Probably nothing, but I was pleased to expand the short story into a novella, and for the story to arc the way it did. It topped out at 21,064 words, so I nearly doubled it from its original size. It was a bit of a rush, working on that one. A fun little exercise, and that short story always craved a larger canvas upon which to stretch out, so I was happy to oblige it, and the protagonist in the story.
Fingers crossed, I hope it is one of the winners!
