Yasser, that's my baby...

Conversation in the house this evening

A- Roomie, Rabbi, Roustabout
Me- Our hero, regardless of the lack of superpowers.

A: "So, what's going on with Arafat?"

Me: "Well, one news source said that Yasser Arafat died, then shortly afterwards, spokesmen said he isn't. My brother Dani said that one of the Palestinian spokesmen said that Yasser's doing just fine, and is taking a bicycle tour of Paris. I think he was kidding. I think they have Arafat in an observerless room with machinery that has a fifty percent chance of keeping him alive, and a fifty percent chance of killing him, thus keeping him in both states until someone opens the door and collapses the quantum wave function."

A: "What?"

Me: "You know, Schroedinger's Terrorist..."

A: "Oh. Right."

So, I'm not doing NaNoWriMo, due to time constraints.

But for some reason, I *do* feel like writing something, and want to set some sort of goal along those lines.

Okay, here we go.

*deep breath*

Within the next 6-8 months, I'd like to submit a story to Analog, with the aim of getting it in print.

I know I probably don't have a snowball's chance of getting published, but I'd welcome any sort of advice, pointers or brainstorming sessions that anyone with writing experience would feel like sharing with me.
