…aren’t they pretty? *grin*
Satin Spar went to the next level
I got an email yesterday from Ellora’s Cave, saying that the partial had gone up to one of the acquiring editors. YAY
It’s only a teeny-tiny baby step, but it’s not a straight rejection. Now, I have my fingers crossed they ask for the full…
Must get my writing on Fracture done this morning as I have to take Frodo to Dramatots this afternoon. He’s been saying he doesn’t want to go all week, until last night. So we’ll see how he feels at 1.15.
November hit today
I’m glad I’m inside today. It’s wild, wet and blustery out there.
I’ve nothing much to blog about at the minute, as I am mostly writing, LOL Fracture is (hopefully) past the half way point. I was attacked by plot bunnies on Monday which threatened to drag the story into a novel, but I think I have them culled now 😉 And Chosen is moving on v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y, but at least its moving…
Reward time
oooh, a submissive Colonel…
Yes, it’s definitely Mondays
I struggle to write on a Monday morning. The words just won’t flow. But I have managed to scrape out about 766 words when I really wanted to do anything but.
Does this Monday morning reluctance mean that my subconscious is treating this as my job…? Actually that’s quite cool. *grin*
And for some reason when I came in to edit the spelling ( I wrote in a hurry, sue me 😉 )it ate half the post. My interwebby connections have been decidedly odd for the past few days. Now I have to edit a short story for Freya’s Bower, write something on Chosen and then, since I got over the 10k mark with 300+ to spare, the Colonel is mine for the day… *smirk*
Just realised something…
…I’m not doing much else at the minute but writing, LOL My total since 15 October is 24,292.
It’s a nice distraction as my blood pressure would have sky-rocketed this week. We learned that Frodo’s SENISS (the mainstream school inclusion service) person, rather than turning up in his school for ten minutes to assess him, was there as his support teacher. WTF? And that she’ll turn up for a whole whopping 30 minutes every Tuesday to support him in the mainstream setting.
30 minutes.
Wow.
This for a boy who is 6 and has the language level and possibly understanding (we just don’t know) of a 3 year old. The same boy who was denied a place in a special school because he didn’t have the ability to learn.
We have the horrible feeling that they’re playing politics with Frodo.
*grrr*
Spent the day writing
Aren’t I a girly swot? *grin*
7% and Rising
The final line edits are away. Reading through the story, I do like this one, LOL It’s been with me for a while. Hints of storyline and characters chipping away at me until I had write the bloody thing, LOL
Here’s a snippet:
Cahn accelerated. She was tortured, dead. Dead if they caught her. Not thinking. Her feet pounded. The Staff roared, but she ignored it. Definitely not thinking.
The endless blue of the Attic sky shone above her. The gleam of marble caught in the fresh sunlight. There was only the promise of the hard, rocky earth far, far below.
Falling. Falling. Air rushed from her lungs. Her heart screamed—
And on the Sven front: I got about 1k written on Fracture and about 700 words on Chosen. So a good day. *grin*
5k on Fracture
Woot! I just finished up chapter 2 on Fracture. That took me about 100 words over my daily count and about 200 words over the 5k mark. So I get a reward *smirk*:
Hopefully, I’ll get The Honourable Lady finished up today/tomorrow too *grin*
:::EDITED:::
Yep I finished The Honourable Lady very unexpectedly this afternoon. My incentive to finish was to make another Reward Icon, LOL. I’m waiting on screencaps from ‘Doppleganger’. Saw that last night, and sad woman that I am I was looking for scenes I could steal, hehe
Hey, if it gets me writing, I’m happy to be this sad *snicker*
