Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy

1) I can send "Courage" off to Market a and have an answer pretty quickly.  It has thus far, always been "no," but it's usually a slush-bounce, so the worst of it is I lose 24-48 hours before I get to send it to market b.  The best is that market a pays a little better.  There is also market c, which pays a little better than market b, but I don't remember what I sent to them last and when - I think this is the thing.  Anyway: Courage A then B.  DONE.

2) Looking at Malus, I notice I got the first draft out three days before market d closed (again).  There was no way that I could do a second salable draft for that story in 3 days.  I know my limitations.  But I can do one this week and send it to market e, though I recently missed there with "Golden Stringed Guitar," thinking it was right for them, only I learned I missed kind of hard with that one.  Oh well.

3) Speaking of which, I do not know what to do with "Golden Stringed Guitar."  No clue.  Cut the mythos shout-out and the Kacias and try, try again.  Where?  No clue.

4) The Mars story is going to follow up the first thing I get back (probably Courage since I just sent that).  I need to redraft that this week, too.

5) I need to have something ready to send to market f, if they reject Hermaion, or if they don't reject Hermaion.  Either way.

So new drafts: Malus, True Mars (new title needed), King of Pine.
First complete draft: The Ukelele Story, The Peryton Story.
Polishes: Golden Stringed Guitar.

To say nothing of the pirates.
