erastes

Pretty productive day all in all, no writing yet—I wonder now if I’m putting myself off from finishing the damned thing because I don’t want to hear Running Press tell me they don’t want it, and/or are not continuing with the series, and the thought of having two books to try and sell, Mere Mortals and Junction X fills me with glom as dark as nigt.

However, I have done my edits on the short story Wherever the Risk, updated my website with the new Frost Fair – now available at Cheyenne Publishing (even though typically Samhain hadn’t bothered to take it down from loads of places, even though the contract stated that, but I’m not surprised) and I’ve edited (lightly, I’m no expert) two chapters of Chris Smith’s novel, and one more to go. Oh! And emailed a partial to a friend in America who is kindly going to post it to an agent for me, as they only take snail mail.

(and been growing virtual crops, tending virtual dragons and playing with kittehs and watching Ugly Betty but then I am Ms Procrastinator Superba.)

Meta Writer has finished its “Back to Basics” workshop and all of the entries have been wonderful. Just two people chose to spoil it, with bad behaviour. Why is it that some people have lost the ability to DEBATE, rather than saying “I DISAGREE WITH YOUR OPINION SO YOU HAVE INSULTED MEEEE!!” It’s baffling. The latest post caused me a great deal of amusement as the insulted party defriended the entire community because of one sentence in Lee’s essay.

*BAFFLED* (but laughing)
