Lots of great stuff this week!<\/p>\n
Almost done Week 2 of NaNo. So far the Weepies aren’t making themselves known too badly, which is great; it helps that I know what I want the plot to do for the immediate future and I have several plot threads so that when I get bored of Our Heroes I can switch over to Our Villians or perhaps Our Mysterious Other POVs and I still can add in velociraptors whenever I feel the need (note: this is often. Because velociraptors.) Currently 2 days ahead in word counts, although I am not particularly concerned with word counts this year as I am with hitting all the major plot points. (Which I will remind you I haven’t actually plotted out, so this is something that will only become clear in hindsight.)<\/p>\n
In publishing news, my novelette Still Life<\/em> went live at GigaNotoSaurus! I’ve posted links to it here<\/a>, along with a link to MY FIRST SOLO REVIEW! (I’ve been reviewed before but as a part of anthology. There are no spoilers in the review and I always find it fascinating what people think my stories are about.)<\/p>\n But that’s not all, my flashfic Nights Over Ganymede<\/em> (yes, of “refresh all day Saturday fame<\/a>“) is live at Stupefying Stories<\/a>! TWO STORIES IN ONE MONTH! Never rains but it pours.<\/p>\n (ALSO Pillbug was VERY PLEASED with the kissin’ novella-prequel-thing. Just in case you were wondering.)<\/p>\n Oh and today I had a very nice rejection for Ashes<\/em>: “Your work is intriguing and original, but I am afraid it is not for us at this time”. Intriguing! Original! It’s form-letter-y sounding but you know what? I’ll take it.<\/p>\n We had snow flurries in Parkdale today and I have a gingerbread latte to finish and 1667+ words to do today so that I can be 3 days ahead tomorrow. The fact that at this point I am usually weeping into my Festive Holiday drink makes me both pleased and afraid: pleased that Fletcher & Cooper<\/em> is going well and terrified of what this means for week 3. Will we discover that Weepies denied are Weepies intensified? STAY TUNED<\/p>\n …by which I mean see you next Tuesday. Please feel free to do other stuff in the meantime.<\/p>\n HAPPY NANO and see you on the twitters<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My novelette Still Life went live at GigaNotoSaurus!
