Long Silence
I am sorry for the extended silence here. I have been pretty busy.
The new job is going great. My title is “Publishing Support Specialist” which means jack. There is an online application called SCMS (SCience Management System) that is a standards-based management system. Its kind hard to describe. The simplest way to understand it is to see SCMS as an online storehouse of all documents that are needed to manage DOE Office of Science. Mostly we will be supporting procedure documents. Anyway, we have a technical editor and a programmer. I am the glue that binds the two together. I do a little web design, a little online publishing, a little help desk, and my duties are still evolving. In three words, “It’s going great.”
Mostly my spare time has been devoted to finalizing the premier issue of Mount Zion Speculative Fiction Review. Last week my partner and I had a pleasant shock when we googled “Mount Zion Press” and “Mount Zion Speculative Fiction Review”. In both searches our website came up first followed by hits at several market lists (only three of which we had given info to) as well as authors spreading our name around the message boards. WooT!
Anyway, I’ll have something substantive to write next week.
Thanks to my four loyal readers for hanging in there.
That’s fantastic news Raphael! Glad to know work is going well! Woot!
As for your blogging time, well I’ve heard that patience is a virtue and that’s what I am learning! Soooo…cool!
I’m so glad that things are going well, I am honored to not only be among the four, but to be excited about your publication!
Thanks be to God things are going well.
My continued prayers.
