Well, you never know how such things will work - you might sell all of them at the same time to one source who wants to do them serialized or something - life in publishing is so weird and unpredictable
I've found stuff written years ago that suddenly fits with something I wrote recently too -
And then a couple months back I woke up WAY too early and had a complete download on one of my favorite alien novels - musey gave me a whole section as a short story and a second bit the next night for a second story. I ended up writing all day and you know how hard it is to deliver an alien story in a short format. But the last time I wrote on the novel both stories are from - was about 10 years ago. That was a real eye opener for me on how the brain works.
I guess I'm just more into Fantasy, so that's where my bigger ideas go. Although, come to think of it, my one pro sale so far was a long story about aliens. It just wasn't very "hard SF-ish."
Well, I don't know enough real science to do real hard SF - I do the handwavium kind of SF with only the occasional careful foray into the real deal.
I did the real deal for a short short I submitted to PARSEC but it was a bit agonizing to make sure I didn't put a single word wrong or in a way that COULD be misconstrued.
I think my SF so far has all been handwavium-I'm one of the few people in my family who ISN'T an engineer, so I just strive for plausibilty in my fictional science.
