I'll just be over here smacking my printer.
I knew it was low on ink, but damn. I tried to print out the steampunk werewolf western for the Hubby to take on his trip, but it crapped out four pages in. So I hurried to try to change the ink, and then it hung on me for no apparent reason. I finally had to unplug it to turn it off. Ugh.
However, I think it's finally ready for public consumption. Or, rather, public pulling-apart. In the interests of that, I've shot a note off to my Writing Buddy asking if he'd like to see it. And I may post it here for the Usual Suspects to tear into, although it may take two posts. Like I say, 15,000 words. It's big and I don't know if anyone will actually want to take on the job of critting it.
In the meantime, I think I'm going to start putting together my NaNo project. If you missed it, that's where I'm taking on NaNoWriMo from the perspective of a short story writer and banging out 50,000 words worth of seven or so short stories in a month. I'll be attempting this in January. However, I want to have a plan in place for it, so in the interests of that I'm going to poke the Plot Bunny Hutch, see what hops out, and then *gasp* outline. I know, try not to die of shock.
But if I don't have a Plan, then it's doomed to fail. I don't want to fail. I want this to succeed so well that I'll do it again in June. Because, really, it's time to get back up on the writing horse for good and all. I need to get serious about this.
