I've given up on the idea of figuring out which story is right for which magazine. Basically I just can't second-guess any editor, so if the stories are in the correct category and are the right length, I'm sending them out more-or-less at random to any market that pays pro or semipro rates. I've even sent one to Analog, though it's not hard SF and will probably come whistling back, but it is a personal first for me, so I'm happy.
I'm working on the first draft of another children's (middle grade) book, so not much time for short story writing at the moment. Therefore I'm planning to make the ones I have got work harder. :-)
Now I have ten pre-sold stories, eight of which are theoretically available for reprint markets. I should send them out, too. That's a job for today.
