So I finished up that story that I was hoping to send to Surreal, and read through it, and was going to send it out, but as usual I checked the page first (since there's so much variance in guidelines and "proper manuscript format") and saw... they're closed to submissions for the summer ( Read more... )

33 days and counting for Strange Horizons and Vestal Review. 19 days and counting for poetry. Plus, of course, the "who knows when except not for a couple-few weeks at least" for the ChiZine contest ( Read more... )

I know, I haven't posted in forever.

I also haven't written in forever.

October... I'm not sure what happened to October. I got stuck on Chapter 5 of the rewrite and sucked into the Sims 2 and did some cleaning and rearranging for November.

November... weds was here for a large chunk of it. Then I got my second bout of bronchitis in 3 months ( Read more... )

No, I didn't write. Well, I wrote half a chapter. I don't know why I'm so stuck, but I am. It sucks ( Read more... )

Last week's goals: complete at least one short story and at least 5 chapters of my rewrite ( Read more... )

The electronic door, but close enough.

One goal down. One to go.

No, I'm still not writing. The migraine's gone. The insomnia is back.

Somehow, I don't think I'm finishing by the 31st.

My original plan was to get Draft 2 of Monday done by the end of the month, and as of the earlier part of the month I was optimistic I could get it done with a good week or more to spare. Naturally, that's when I got sick, followed by more sickness, followed by a week straight of terrible insomnia, followed by this weekend's 2-day-long migraine ( Read more... )

Still sick. Or sick again. Or both. Plus sleeplessness, and endless eye boogers when I am awake.

Do I need to say the therefore, or is it understood?

Going to go try to get a bit more sleep and see how I feel after that.

This is like a trend, now. Every time I sit down to try to do as much of a big project as possible, I get sick.

Yesterday I was ill enough to take the day off work. Spent my day sleeping.

This morning I finished up chapter 2 (old count: 2311, new: 3005) and have gotten about 800 words into chapter 3. I probably won't finish chapter 3 before I have to leave for work, but a chapter's progress on a weekday morning isn't too bad.
