i think i know why I'm a workaholic

[cornerofmadness]

Other than it's simply my nature. Any more when I have too much time off, I have time to think too much and then I get very depressed. Even watching tv and reading aren't helping anymore. sigh.

BUT I do have things to not be depressed about. I have a great flist. Thank you original fiction filter people who've stepped up and offered to help me with my two erotic novels. It really means a lot to me. even if its just for a few chapters, i'll take all the help I can get. I owe you.


here's a little payback now for the erotica writers on my list

Dreamspinner's open call

eh, I'm not too sure I'm wow by any of them but the voices in my head say that other space opera you were kicking around would be the perfect space pirate story. Seriously. write it. Who wants to see gay space pirates?


Samhain's open calls

I find samhain much harder to write for. Their open calls are for novellas which then are hard to place if you don't get them to take them. Though i have to say neither of these anthologies interest me at all but they might interest you.

teaser excerpt for Crisis in Faith

Health wise things took another bad turn. The bad news is I have an ingrown toenail, good news is i FELT it so I'm not that upset. I'm more upset over the eczema on my fingers cracking open and hurting.

But the distressing thing that says the hormones and/or autoimmune thing is getting worse was there was so much hair in the tub this morning it was scary. You can see the bald patches where it came out. Should take a picture for the doctor and say SEE,this is what I mean. Hair shouldn't come out like this unless I'm on chemo or have alopecia aerata. The only thing I know is it's not my thyroid (I'm tested frequently. Given other crap happening right now I'm looking at those ovaries as the culprit.

And in the what the hell are you doing now body files I lost 30 pounds earlier this year, in October suddenly gained back 15 (even though I was NOT home and barely eating) and in a week I've lost 5 when I am home and eating because I'm bored...

Gay space pirates, huh?

Ugh to the hair loss.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

the plunder included transgenic cargo meant for futuristic ultimate fighter rings

i know right. clumps should not just fall out

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

That's some interesting plunder.

No. That just sounds scary.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

because who doesn't want to do hot genetically engineered battle boys? (I've been considering this for a het space opera too but ...)

yeah just a little

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Mm, I can't think of anyone....

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

and since he's transgenic, he can have blue anime hair

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Which is always fun. Or lavender or silver white hair....

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes exactly. Telek wanted blue. Yes he has a name now and the pirate leaders are Italian twins...

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Are the twins sharing him (and each other)?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

one twin is a girl so no

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

That would be interesting to me....

XD

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

but sadly not to this publisher. I did go het and gay for Riding with strangers

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Understood.

[sillymagpie.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry to hear about the continuing health woes and the hair loss. :-(

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thank you

[ital-gal.livejournal.com]

gay space pirates are a go!

scary about your hair. so sorry that your health issues go on and on. does sound kinda hormone-y. did you say you suddenly lost weight too?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yay gay space pirates

I was trying to lose the weight so I dont' think that factors in (i.e. i was able to back down the insulin)

I have polycystic ovarian syndrome so that's probably the cause.

[ital-gal.livejournal.com]

Well good for you for dropping some weight during the holiday season (no fair getting a head start)and getting your insulin down.

my sisters had POS for a long time, so I know what a nightmare that can be.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah well who know why and it two days it'll probably be back.

It's another sucky diease. it's the reason i'm overweight and diabetic...

[ital-gal.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm not sure this "cure" will work for you, but what really helped my sister bit was she got pregnant (which was a bit of a miracle I guess, given the POS)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah mom and my doc are pushing for that (which yes is hard if you have PCOS) mom sees me in my 40's and is despairing the lack of grandkids
