It's a brave new world. And by "brave" I mean that publishers are thinking: holy shit, how are we going to survive this?!
Yeah I'm a bit bummed. I've got the very beginning of a Sci-fi novel done. Not likely it will be finished AND polished in a month. I'm going to give it a go, since it never hurts to work REALLY effing hard, but doubt I will get it done in a month's time.
