My Signs & Portents Submissions Policy

fiat_knoxHere's an idea I'm going to adopt.
I'm going to write three or four shortish articles for Signs & Portents on a variety of topics. Then, with the approach of a new month, I'll send Charlotte one of those articles: the oldest, the most well-edited (I've already submitted one item this month to S & P: another Ship's Locker article, by the way. I'm off the hook for now).
That way, I won't have to worry about the end of the month approaching. I'll have plenty of material to send off to the magazine: all I have to do is write a new one or two when I get the chance. The articles I'll have waiting will act as a sort of buffer, giving me a grace period in order for me to concentrate on my more major creative projects.
Such as, for right now, the psion expansion module I'm currently doing.
I want to take a good, long look at the parts of Book 4: Psion which were missed out, or perhaps never covered. I mean, four pages of phobias. Four pages of powers would have done.
Or a Psionics Institute's layout, presented in the same way as the Scout base item in Book 3: Scout. Yes, I'm going to cover a sample Psionics Institute in my lengthy article.
I also have to take time to get back into Chric' World of Darkness: Manchester stuff. Fortunately, since I've taken care of the most urgent Traveller stuff for now, I can get on with my WoD stuff.
And I better had: I'm getting other interested fans asking me to collaborate with them now.
