I'm not going to lie to you; I'm very happy to be seeing 2011 in my rear view mirror.  There were some good things about the year, but overall, I feel like it was an exercise in slamming my head a doorframe repeatedly, followed up by a luxurious bath.  Moments of good stuff, but a lot of painful slogging was required to get to them.

Been a while since my last update.  I seem to say that a lot.  Oh well... here's what's going on in my life.

1)  Spells & Swashbucklers.  It's official; I have the pole position in this upcoming anthology, and I am pretty damned excited.  Going first in a collection is a position of honor, and I think it's pretty awesome that my first published ( Read more... )

Apparently not.

All right, quick rundown.  I promise I will do a more in-depth entry in the future about the things I am going to quickly go through, but for the moment, here's what's been going on in my corner of the Net.

1)  Roller Derby.  I'm really enjoying it, even though it is kicking my ass something fierce.  I've noticed body changes ( Read more... )

The shot clock has expired on Lottery Odds, so after some Googling, it has been sent out once again.

As you were.

We're watching Black Swan, and I just submitted on Salvation again.  This will be lucky #21.

My will is iron.

Lottery Odds was rejected today, so of course it has now been sent back out during he same 24 hour cycle.  A couple years ago, I would not have been able to do this.  2009 (especially the last couple months) was crappy in a lot of ways, but one good thing that came of it was that I was able to get past the mental block I had concerning the ( Read more... )

Submissions have been made for both Lottery Odds and Salvation.

That is all.

Lottery Odds has been sent out again, this time to the Victoria Sanders & Associates LLC Agency for their consideration.  I'll probably do the research for a new possible landing pad for Salvation tomorrow.  For now, Castle, since now we have both parts DVR'd and ready to go!

Cross your fingers on this one.  God hates a coward.

EDIT:  No dice.  I'm ( Read more... )

So as I was saying earlier, Permuted Press shot me in the head today.  It hurt, a lot, because I had actually gotten to the point where I was looking at the situation and in the back of my mind the band was starting to play a tune.  Not "Nearer My God To Thee," either; this was a stirring martial number, one that signified that maybe I was getting ( Read more... )

Shot down by Permuted Press.  More on that anon.  Next submission has been sent out.  Depression will not stop me.
