So, apparently my inability to plot in an outline is detrimental. Potentially. (Well, I also wasn't sure I could fit the plot into the word limit.)

The anthology editor wanted a proposal before the story was written, to prevent multiple stories of the same storyline being included. So I sent her my synopsis, and we'll see what happens next.

The worst that can happen is she already has one of these and says no. In that case, I can send the story to other magazines (Lightspeed, perhaps; maybe F&SF, since they like actiony stuff).

I sent the email a few minutes ago. Now we just wait. And I work on revisions.

ETA: She replied, "Sounds good, thanks."

What does that mean? *_*

Ooh, I hate it when people are vague like that! Good luck.

Thanks! (And thanks for your input! I'm still pondering how to incorporate some of it into the edits.)

I figure, I finish it, and send the whole thing? Then she gives the final yes or no? It's all vague... my strong J personality cringes.

It sounds like you're good to write it. If you're unsure send a message back going, "Does that mean I'm approved to write it?"
