Plain Banter

Earlier this month, my short story "The Astronaut" from the May 2007 issue of Analog won that magazine's annual readers' poll, the Analytical Laboratory or "AnLab" awards, for best short story of 2007. This is the third time I've won the award. The other winning stories were "Lavender In Love" (2003) and "Already In Heaven (1997).

As if that's not enough, I've also learned that "The Astronaut" has received enough recommendations to put it on the preliminary ballot for next year's Nebula awards.

It makes me think I ought to be spending more time in the chair writing.

Plain Banter . . . lies about science fiction, and everything else. When the writer becomes the center of his attention, he becomes a nudnik. And a nudnik who believes he's profound is even worse than just a plain nudnik. -- Isaac Bashevis Singer
