Finish the first draft of the tattoo story. I'm at the climax right now.

See if I can re-work Hell's Process Server so the spec element is obvious from the first page.

Update my RP activity logs.

Tag this character.

Broken down like that, it doesn't seem like much. I can totally do it!

As you know, Bob (or maybe you don't), I have a character I'm pretty fond of. I've written a completed and good novel, an incomplete and terrible novel, and four short stories starring this guy. I have been known to roleplay him, and have a lot of fun doing so.

Thing is, he's either married and aggressively monogamous, or not married and not ( Read more... )

1. Print out Angry Bitter Angel, in a different font, read it over, and red-pen it. This should be my final pass, or at least I hope so. Then I can start shipping it out too. Printing it was an exercise in frustration because my printer randomly decided to be a butthead, but I have it, finally. All 34 pages. Standard Manuscript Format will probably ( Read more... )

...maybe. I'm not sure I actually like it, or if he's going to need rescuing.

Or who will actually do the rescuing. Janni is a bitty badass and Megan's no slouch, but saving him from a live blood bank is not exactly in their skill set ( Read more... )

And to top off my day yesterday, I had two rejections. Looking over my spreadsheet, I realized that one of them has not yet been sent to F&SF, so I'll gin up a sub package for them and ship that off on payday, since there's a PO not far from the bank.

I entered the cow story in the Fantasy Faction Writing Contest. Deadline is tomorrow, folks, so ( Read more... )

I spent my morning with the lovely and effulgent sandratayler and her handsome and hardworking husband howardtayler helping them pack and ship the new Schlock Mercenary book, which is out now. Sandra is amazing and has this packing thing down to a science--so much so that we actually finished an hour earlier than we had planned ( Read more... )

Gyah, yes, I realize I promised pictures. And I will post them. Eventually. I swear. Today has been full of busy-ness, however. I scribbled 1200 words and am now sitting at 13,800, in the Won His Soul story. I outlined the coming events in a somewhat coherent manner as well, so I know how I'm getting to the end from here. I discussed a ( Read more... )

So LJRP ate my brain and a good portion of my life for a really long time. And I met some terrific people and I've had a blast, but it wasn't good for me on a professional level, because all my creative juice was going into that instead of writing I could, you know, get paid for.

But. After a discussion with my main RP partner about how out-of- ( Read more... )

So, wow, the RP that ate my brain has also, apparently, eaten my LJ. Has it really been since the 3rd that I updated this thing ( Read more... )

This is wild. Or maybe it's just me, being overly-invested. Hell if I know ( Read more... )
