"The Pull of Gravity" is a long-suffered favorite of mine, but honestly it went through quite a few iterations until it sold to the amazing Abyss & Apex magazine (and even they had some cuts). Initially I think it was too long, and there was a climactic scene/dream which I loved but initially was just - well, not me. I was trying too hard. I'd finally th epremise of just that scene and it changed the story and felt, suddenly, right. Not surprising, the story sold next time out. Sometimes it's simply a matter of beign true to oneself.
The story is not slated until the July, 2025 issue, so we have a wait, but it always feels great to have these literary babies of mine find a good home.
