Good Monday Morning!

Everybody ready for a new week?

It sounds very, VERY wet around here. I think it's been POURING since around 1:00 AM.

Anybody got anything big planned for the week?

I'm hoping to hear about the job I've been interviewing for by tomorrow. Of course, they haven't been super fast in making any decisions after the last three interviews, so it could be later in the week before I hear anything.

So, excuse me if I start getting antsy about it, please. :)

I don't think I've asked in a while. What's everybody working on writing-wise these days? Novels? Short stories? Want to toot your own horn and talk about your current project?

I love to hear what other people are working on.

The long commute plus some bouts with low confidence have damaged my ability to churn out many words at a time, but I think I'm going to hit my 31,000 word goal for the month.

I'd still love to get the new opening finished for Out of the Darkness so I can work on editing the entire novel. I just need to get my focus clear and WORK!

I don't know if I'll move straight along to finish Xanali after that, or if I'll go back to editing Ancient Secrets or Beyond the Darkness next.

I have to get to work on my screenplays too...some revising and polishing and two more that I want to get written.

Fortunately, screenplays, because of their length and structure, are a much faster write than novels.

Decisions...decisions...

Hope everyone has a great Monday and a wonderful week!

EDIT: Oh, and I'm going to be celebrating turning 50 on Thursday, so I'm going to be taking the day off. Only four days to work this week and the long weekend coming up!!! HOORAY!

It's raining solidly here too and it's really gorgeous!

I have a week full of university things, but there's a weekend of fun planned so I'll be looking forward to your triumphant 'it's Friday' post this week!

Good luck with the job, I really hope it works out :D

I'm hoping to get writing more soon, next week will be a good time to start. I have so many short stories that need work so that I can start subbing them to magazines.

Well, I just came in Second Place in the Writers of the Future Contest Q2 2006, so that's been pretty exciting. I've done 1.5 story rewrites after rewrite requests, and a Critters story to polish up, several other short stories awaiting a reimagining, and a half-done novel to do...maybe not all this week. Good luck with the job!

Happy Early Birthday!

I've got my History final this afternoon (and here I am cat-hoovering; bad me). After that, I'm going to work at getting The Coming Storm ready to submit to Daw on Friday, which is when I get paid so I'll have money to pay for postage.

I FINALLY finished my 8th chapter for my Chronicles novel. It took something like five months to do it. I'd say I've been working on this novel for a year now, and that's very good. ^_^

Have to start working on chapter 9, soon. My GUESS is that the first draft could be done by...the end of summer/early September if I get my butt in gear.

I'm just waiting until June 12.......

Short story; sf, about politics (so far).
