I’m planning on adding a feature to the blog, which I’m going to call the ‘best thing i read all week’. I was going to make it the best thing I read today, but that wasn’t going to happen. Anyhow, the first one should be about Charlie Stross’s “Trunk and Disorderly”, which will be in the January Asimov‘s.

Looking at the cover it occurred to me that you might be interested in the kind of schedules that a year’s best editor keeps to. The January 2007 issue of Asimov’s showed up in my email on September 28, three months before publication, and nearly six weeks before I’m due to hand in my year’s best for 2006! At the moment my 2007 email folder has two issues of magazines and three anthologies in it, and I’m expecting the February issues shortly. That said. I’m going to take November off reading short fiction. I think I need a novel or two before diving back into the short fiction ocean.
