Random or not. =) I'll email you, as well, but the short answer is: While I think I did end up with a handful of really good stories, the most "solid" result of the project was breadth and depth and sheer *volume* of experience writing. As I kept telling myself through the year: I wasn't writing for publication. I was writing for *practice*. And I think I got a lot of practice in. And I'm starting an agent hunt using the edited/second draft version of the novel-of-stories I wrote in November 2006. So it wasn't *just* practice. I was trying to win. =) -David Zero,
