Writerly Ways

yeah I've got nothing. I'm just trying to keep my mind off things. I did manage to get my story back to the publisher and should have my galleys in a few days.

I've done a little more with my writing but not much, nothing to write home about but thank you all again for the interest in my original work

I was going to share a newer erotica site with a lot of open calls but for some reason it didn't seem to enter into my bookmarks. sigh.

Instead have this, Storm Chaser, a romantic comedy ebook by ozma914. I haven't had a chance to read it yet but always willing to promo a friend. I know there is a print book but amazon doesn't seem to have it yet or my search was wonky.

Yearly Word count -

40506 / 125000 words. 32% done!

And here's the three active erotica shorts I have going. i'm putting a ballpark word count of 10K on them.

Demon Hunters Holiday -

859 / 10000 words. 9% done!

Vaction in Victoria -

461 / 10000 words. 5% done!

Roaring 20's help japan story (which btw if you don't want to wait for a full blown story, let me know since the original deal was for 1000 words...)

605 / 10000 words. 6% done!

thanks for putting up with me

really, do I need to say more than that. Thank you.

Weight off stuff since I'm too agitated to do a whole post - those five pounds are still off. no furthur success.

My older (new) neighbor was back wanting to help me for pay. I put her to work watering plants but if she thinks I can pay her weekly she's wrong. I feel sorry for her and her husband but I can barely keep myself a float. But since I've now been ordered to take it even easier than I have been on my arm I can find another twenty but that has to be for 2 weeks if not a month. She says she needs antibiotics for pneumonia (she has COPD from smoking). I'd rather just go buy her those frankly.

I need to find time to read the remaining big bangs that I have. I've been HORRIBLE about reading fanfic. I've forgotten to put up the kindle friendly version of my big bang ishte did. If I've not seen something you've done, point me at it. Not you ELD, I know I have to read all those brave new world things. now to find the post you sent me with them.

I accomplished nothing today but going over a test, a few lecture slides and I watched half heartedly at all four Indiana Jones movies (I only really truly like 1 &3) Indy has always felt like an old friend which is probably kinda pathetic.

I picked apart the remains of a roasted chicken for the furbags and can you believe it? I got a freaking bone splinter up under my finger nail. I've never had that happen.

Speaking of fanfic though, sometimes it's a really good thing, that instant boost to the ego when you need it. Yeah occasionally you get the trolls but for the most part it's fun seeing people be happy with your work. Now to get them this happy with my original fic.
