The sub to Tor Paranormal is in the post.

With some rather lovely IRCs. So much nicer than the old ones. I’ll have to hunt out a picture. It’s Michaelangelo’s The Creation of Adam with a splash of gold where the fingers almost touch. Cool

:::Edit:::

Forgot my NaNo update:

I just got spam from Phaedrus Pancake… sorry, that’s me completely gone, LOL

It’s been slow going, mainly because I got to a dull bit, wrote through it, and realised after why it was dull and hard to write in the first place, LOL So, I have a bracketed note to myself to remember in the rewrite.

I also increased my word count to 1150 today, by going back and adding a semi-rude scene. *grin* Not fully rude, as there is a very good reason why Alesh and Varo should not have wild monkey sex. Aren’t I a bad person??

And I’m over 20k now! Woo hoo!

And off NaNo topic, but on sub topic, 7% and Rising got accepted by Samhain, and The Bone Magician’s Daughter got rejected by Berkley. So I’m getting another submission package out the door asap *grin*

…Berkley said… No.

Got some nice feedback, though.

So printing it out and popping a partial of to Tor Paranormal *grin*

Oh and here’s my NaNo update:

is a YES!

Much *squeeeee-age* in my house when I got the email this afternoon, LOL

This story is one of the special ones. One of the ones I had to plug away at to get it finished.

I’m a very happy camper today. *grin*

Time to decide on a cover for Past Lies…

I’m lucky. I get to have an imput into what goes on the front of my books. However, now it comes to it, my mind goes a complete and utter blank.

Time to trawl the web for inspiration, LOL

Oh and here’re are my nano updates for the past few days:

So I haven’t been around for a couple of days again. But I have been writing. Honest. I’m just 4 words short of 18000. Which is extremely cool.

Got my demon attacking the ship scene done… but will have to go back to extend so I can have more of the crew involved. And liquid fire. Must have my liquid fire, hehe

So Alesh, has just reached her homeland.

Time for all hell to break loose…

Yesterday was one of those days where I couldn’t keep my eyes open. I think I wrote 1500 words and then didn’t have the strength to make a picture and update my blogs… LOL

Doing slightly better today. Mainly because I skipped a bridging scene – which is dull and needs to have the tension, tension, tension that Donald Maass proscribes for every page, paragraph, sentence. So I got a sacrifice and a snog in 2000 words. (These two things are connected but happening miles and time apart… Honest.)

I may write more today as there be demons off the starboard bow…

Do what the nice man says. *grin*

Yes, I’ve slipped into the bizarre NaNo universe were only writing 2116 is seen as another bad writing day, LOL

And I thought today that it would be a simple point of getting Alesh onto a boat and out of the city. Then it hit me. I’m basing my city on Byzantium. And no self-respecting Rhomanoi would let something simple go by when it could be full of lies and intrigue… *grin*

Friends turn into traitors, spies become friends. Now it’s more of the twist turny plot I like!

Oh, and the daily pics are going through a make-over. Can’t you tell I’ve disovered another button on the Tool bar, LOL
