Subbed!
Published by Deanna Hoak April 1st, 2003 in blogI subbed the zombie unicorn in space story to SH today. I think one of the editors was making mention on his blog of the stories this morning, though mine hadn’t been sent yet at that point.
I’m truly happy to have written that story! It taught me something very important about writing: that I can write without making everything perfect *as I go*. My copyediting background too often causes me to get hung up when writing, because I drive myself crazy with fact-checking and second-guessing. It was wonderful to write something that I could relax over, and I really think it turned out well. And once it was finished, I went back and nitpicked myself then. :-)
And I have to admit to being pretty proud to have pulled off a hard science fiction zombie unicorn story….
