Finished up this draft of the Jupiter story tonight. The ending didn't make me cry like the Eagle story did, but I did feel it pretty intensely. It's a hard ending for the protagonist, but I think it's a good one.
I'll look it over tomorrow and then send it for critique.
A snippet: "I had come home. Truly home, in a deeper, realer way than even my own personal module, which I built with my own hands, can ever be. Perhaps it was the solid press of real gravity, perhaps it was the constant presence of the horizon behind every building, perhaps it was the magnetic field or the tug of the moon or something even more subtle than that. Whatever the cause, something in my bones knew where it needed to be, and that was here."
Also: I was worried that there weren't going to be enough participants for the Potlatch 15 Writers' Workshops, which I am coordinating. But three manuscripts came in today, which makes four, so it looks like it's going to be okay. (The deadline is January 15, by the way.)
