It was a little weird yesterday, working from home, in between a three-day weekend and a five-day vacation. I can’t claim that I got a lot done — I spent most of the day researching instructors teaching a particular course — but it beat going into the office.<\/p>\n

Today, I read a bunch of Kaleidotrope<\/i> stories, getting the number of submissions still waiting on a reply down into the single digits. I should be able to get to the rest of them before the end of the week, if not tomorrow, which is good. <\/p>\n

I’ll need to turn my attention, then, to editing stories for the next issue, in July, but at least I won’t have to contend with more submissions until January. That will help a little with my being full-up — everything I accept now goes into 2015 if not later — but also just with my sanity. The truth is, I don’t necessarily read every story front to back. I try to give each a fair shake, but if I can tell it’s not working for me, why would I assume it would be any better for a reader? (And why am I even doing this if these aren’t stories I want to read?) But even with the stories where you can tell right away it’s just not working, or isn’t what you’re looking for, that still leaves dozens if not hundreds of stories I need to give a closer look.<\/p>\n
