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.

Well, you do live with a published poet...

I actually know a suprising number of published authors.

mabfan has had several stories published in magazines and anthologies, and is taking a year off from work to write his novel.

sailorjim is a published humorist, and his book Naked Through The Snow saw print about two years ago.

farwing just attended Clarion, a workshop for aspiring f/sf writers. She's also really cool.

So, join the club. :-)

Also, mabfan has been published in Analog many, many times. :-)

I'd be happy to look at your story.

Considering the context of the post, it sounds like he wants to do short fiction, and sf/f at that, which is an entirely different kettle of fish.

Yeah, I edited that other stuff for the lit mag.
