So I'm looking around erotic_authors for someplace to submit my little story (which is apparently either too short or too long for anyone) and what do I come across?

The THEME of the anthology is the end of civilisations and cultures... Think Rome, the Aztecs, the MayansThe Aztecs? My academic specialty? Oh, great. Now my muse is going wild trying to think of ( Read more... )

It all looks so darn scary. Dealing with publishers, marketing. Ack! I'm just going to ignore all this reality for now (well, except as far as trying to publish my little short story is concerned) and just concentrate on writing. This real world is too intimidating.

1,450 words. One scene. I cannot believe myself. I was afraid of going back to this thing because it's the bunny that spawned the novel that started this whole Tudor madness, as well as the one I'm writing now, but I guess the amount of bunnies it can give me are washed out. It feels odd, but good ( Read more... )

I am delighted to send you my warm congratulations on successfully completing your degree programme. You will receive an unofficial degree transcript detailing you results over the next few days.So that's done. I'm glad to hear my dissertation didn't completely bomb, though I don't find out what my score is. Well.. nah. I cribbed too much from ( Read more... )

I got a slashy dream last night. That hasn't happened for years. The gay movie marathons I've been having lately are definitely responsible for that.

The books are watching me. As I sit, a humongous pile of unread history books stands less than two feet from my chair, quilting me with its unshrinking presence.

OH YEAH!!!!

I've got 30,300 so far. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Barely getting started.

This is so much fun.

I'm just stepping on my toes on my injured foot, but I can walk. Yes! It doesn't even hurt if I lay off the heel.

I watched Milk yesterday. It gave me the urge to get off my lazy ass and do something. I kinda didn't, but maybe one day I'll manage it. I've really got to get out of this house and find out what's going on ( Read more... )

Yesterday I was in such a low mood that I could barely write. Today I am in such a cheerful mood that... I can barely write. Have you ever written something so funny that you can barely type it up because you keep laughing? I don't even know if it truly is that funny or I'm just giddy or if simply writing Claude snark amuses me ( Read more... )
