i hate people who complain about stuff, they are the worst

Postin'. havelock is heading out to NJ tomorrow and won't be back until Tuesday, which leaves me alone with the kid to make incredibly bad decisions. One of those decisions is to write a 15k word dark NA paranormal Christmas story by Nov 22. Like, IDEK man. I have the makings of a decent idea in the corner of my brain but I can't look directly at it or it ( Read more... )

lol!career, puttering, writing, writer's block

Oh my god I missed you. <3!!!!

Also want details on your writing! Fucking happy it has taken off. It's always been so much better than the popular shit these days. Goddamn. Seriously I will support you so hard and make all my friends do the same. <3

MADDIE. WHAT DID YOUR LJ NAME USED TO BE. YOU CHANGED IT. I AM DISTRAUGHT.

But I knew immediately it was you from your icon, even though I've never seen it before because NIGHTWISH. ♥

Makin' a FO post today about writing career. It will probably be long.

My name was like... Cosmic Notion before. I've actually changed my main handle again only not on LJ because not spending money on it anymore! I'm Prism Scarlet around some places now. :)

Nightwish is still amazing even though Tuomas is a total sperg sometimes, and I saw them in concert twice in 2012.

I am soooo glad things are well for you. <3

Sorry to hear the rooftop shenanigans are not cooperating! Rude. Hope the Christmas story is more forthcoming, once you manage to collapse the wave. :D

a_hollow_year November 4 2013, 20:46:00 UTC

Oh, I will be extracting rooftop shenanigans from my head one way or another. I don't like the fact that I have an actual deadline on these stories because they're going into boxed sets/anthologies and they have to be a certain length. Me and length have a TERRIBLE history. So I'm looking at rooftop story and it's like, "Okay I have about 17k words left to write a credible love story and a happily for now OH GOD WHAT HOW IS NOVELLA FORMED"

I don't DO brevity. But whatever. ONWARD. UPWARD. TO THE ROOF

*pompoms*

Seventeen thousand seems like a lot, but then I think about some of the novels I've copy edited and... not really, huh.

Considering my romances run consistently at 90,000 words I am filled with performance anxiety on these. *FRET*

LOLOLOL! I remember saying that! *grins* Yes, love babbies. I'll pack my bag and my feather duster.

Love the quote by Kurt Vonnegut - that's just what I'm feeling right now. And to think, I gave up a paying job in the hopes that I might publish someday. *rolls eyes*

a_hollow_year November 5 2013, 01:05:00 UTC

I am going to do a post very soon on how to indie publish your books! I make serious bank, I want to let you all in on this.

xlade November 5 2013, 01:53:15 UTC

So...Schrodinger's book? Even more of a conundrum than the danged cat huh? I'm currently taking time of a bloody UNIT TEST to go and browse through LJ and FB. Ah! /cracks whip Back to work!

a_hollow_year November 5 2013, 02:14:07 UTC

Luckily the waveform is collapsing. Now I just need to come up with a blurb...
