Far too busy

Yesterday was the day I usually post my blog for the week. This week has been a bit hectic. I am researching grain crops in Colonial America and I have found some interesting things. Colonial farmers combined wheat and rye in a field. The two plants growing beside each other were more disease resistant, and held to the soil better. The ratio of wheat to rye depended on the growing conditions. The more wheat the more desirable the flour ground from it.
I have agreed to take on the administrative work for an anthology, Fish Nets. I put out the call for manuscripts this morning. I then collect the stories, have them read and scored and send the choices to the editor. I work with her and the authors until we have a final manuscript. At that point someone else takes over to get it through the publication process. The first anthology in the series, Fish Tales, should be out soon.
