Something good for a change

But not my dreams. They were weird. Wish I could remember them.

Remember me talking about the rich local family who wanted to donate to the school just a little? And I said our students did well? So well that they went five times over their promised amount (must be nice to be able to donate more than my entire yearly income...) so that is SO cool and I'm very proud of my students.

I still have accomplished no house cleaning what so ever. It's really bothering me. I just come home and do nothing. THis can't continue. I had a plan to be better today but having to be at the office to nearly five to get the above news thru a wrench into it.


DId I mention I signed up for Viz's newsletter? Like I need more manga blasted in front of my eyes. I did it and there are benefits. There are chapter previews so that's rather nice. I just looked at The Promised Neverland which had a twist I wasn't expecting. It looks like something I should hunt down.

On the other side of the money, the Bodies exhibit's true cost just came out and it's...a bit staggering. Almost a quarter of million dollars. While it's super cool to have it (we're the first library ever to have it) I can't escape the idea that money could have been put to better library use.


And I'm missing something. It probably died in the great flash drive death last Christmas. I wrote TWO little ficlets with Tenaldi and the poison garden. I have one where he finds the young man (who desperately needs renamed) in the cave but NOT the one where I describe him in his garden. Any of you remember what the hell I wrote it for? I looked in both this journal and Jana's over the holiday season but can only find passage grave.


Day 3 word count - 526

Write Every day - Day Four

Hit me up with Day Four's accomplishments here!

So several of you have indicated you just want an acknowledgement that you accomplished something that day and not an actual word count tally so that's what we'll do. Don't want to stress anyone out here. Thanks for the input. Unless you DO want your word count out there as some of you indicated so I'll do that as well because yeah, if you're like me you want that information so I can do it both ways based on your preference (You'll be in the hey I wrote category unless you specifically tell me you'd like an actual word count sort of thing going on.)



Imaginary hell. I've caught myself rolling my cart through Kroger's having arguments with them. People must think I'm insane (fantastic. That might actually work in my favor)




And how about a couple posts on being a writer both from Chuck Wendig. I love his posts on writing but they are DEFINITELY NSFW!

Control what you can control (for me that's making time for my writing, need better control)

Quieting Self doubt (Because we ALL have it)



Day Three - writing accomplished (and if I've missed anyone let me know!)

Attend my convention

Did I remember to mention I'll be one of the hosts at the first annual virtual Virtual SF/Fantasy con and I'll be part of the paranormal/urban fantasy booth with countless others? I literally have no idea WTF I'm doing and from the sound of it no one does. So we'll be winging it. It's a free facebook even. There will be plenty of books/authors to meet (and not just all m/m romance) My booth will be next wednesday (not tomorrow, a week there from).

And Betty passed on this suicide prevention/awareness project . It's worth checking out. It really helped today as my depression levels are severely high. It was also a high pain day and a day I felt like I was losing my students, like I was doing it all wrong.


I also managed to get More than His Scars edited and returned. I'm not sure it's the most interesting of stories but it will go toward helping the Pulse victims so when it comes out in a couple months I'll let you know.


Thanks to kiramaru7 (& ELD) saying that Tenaldi started as a treat I was able to find the missing story (and Kira hunted it down too!) so I have both bits. I'm looking forward to this because it's going to be my nano. I had a great book of poisons which started this idea but I can't find where I put it. ARG!
