Yesterday we went to Borders to see about buying a couple of The Spiderwick Chronicles books, and I can't believe they cost $12 a piece, for like 50 pages of text. What a rip-off! The trade paperback book of almost 400 pages I bought cost less than that. So I told Dana if she wants to read them, she'll have to check them out from the library. I hate to do that, but that's just outrageously expensive for a tiny hardcover that's a fraction of the size of one of the Series of Unfortunate Events books.

So today's plan is to start working on the rewrite of "The Hearts of Men" for the polish challenge over at LH, and get at least one story back out to market after a couple rejections over the weekend (the other two I'm waiting for markets to open up again.). I also saw that my editor over at Sorcererous Signals has nominated my story she published for the Million Writers Award this year, which is cool (and the second year in a row that I've had something nominated).
