Shane has some intelligent comments on the anthology explosion in Australia - something I have wondered about myself lately. Check it out at http://sjiraiyac.blogspot.com/

Great for all us wanna be writers - but is this proliferation of anthologies good for spec fiction?

Having said that I'm pleased to have been published in 'The Outcast' and will continuing subbing to the best and most appropriate markets for my stories - be it to regular publications like Ticonderoga Online, Shadowed Realms, ASIM or to anthologies.

At the moment my novel is fighting me - or perhaps I'm fighting it. I suspect a major rewrite of the most recent chapters is immenent. *Sigh*
