I have resubbed the sf story to Abyss and Apex. I think it's a little embarrassing, really, how much better the rewrite is, but we shall see what the Editoral PTB think. My victory is in getting the damn thing sent at all. If I send out the novella this afternoon (which I could do, it's not beyond the bounds of possibility), then all of my currently submittable stories (i.e., finished, polished up, with all their buttons buttoned and flies zipped) save one will be out. And that one is just going to sit there and snicker at me. I can feel it.
ETA: No, no matter how much I pretend it doesn't, the new novella really needs to be read through one more time. Because that's the process, and that's how it needs to work. So it won't be going out today. But maybe tomorrow.
