A Half-Assed Plan

Torn as I am between letting it sit and getting it done, I've come up with a compromise plan. Two weeks. I'm going to let the manuscript cool for two weeks, then launch on a clean-up campaign that I hope to finish by the end of August, and then off to Baen first. I've been told to send to Ace, but I'm going to Baen for two reasons, somewhat related: 1) I sort of owe them because they got the ball rolling on the Digger thing, and 2) they're favorably disposed toward the character already.

In the meantime, I'm thinking about some possible merchandising ideas. Maybe an "Astromonkeys!" T-shirt or something, if I can come up with a good design.
