where you think you're goin', baby?
Apr. 30th, 2012 10:41 pmA couple of things. (Oh hey anyone new who might be reading this. Hey! I just met you, this is crazy, but here's my number...)
First things first, ( LOOKIT IT'S A BOOK!!!! )
I know it's expensive and a big purchase and maybe I'm no one's favorite author, but OMG! It's a book! I'm having a moment. I'm getting all verklempt!
In other news it's Dreamspinner's Fifth Anniversary, so they are having sales all month, but I guess they are surprise! bonus extra special sales and other deals and treats that you have to watch their FB or Twitter feed to find out about. Just letting people know. Sales! Sales are always good.
In *other* other news, I seriously might be no one's favorite author (as far as I can tell anyway) but screw it, I'm going to go ahead with my charity thing. What I am most likely going to do is set up a post with a starting bid price (something low, like $5) and offer to write a new story of at least 5000 words based on a prompt from the person with the highest bid (if I have a bidder. If not I might write something anyway, but charity would get no money. Boo). I am still considering the details, but the charity will most likely be for this place or someplace like it The San Francisco Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Community Center. But again, I'm still working out the details... with myself really, and my schedule and moods. (Damn moods!)
Anyway, BOOK! It's pretty to hold I must say. Now back to work for me... or sleep. I might sleep now. Work tomorrow.

that throws me to the ground
Apr. 1st, 2012 02:19 pmI am supposed to be going over my galley proof today, only I keep getting embarrassed at seeing it in print and looking away.
The front is lovely though. Old-fashioned and pretty.
Etiquette question...are you supposed to comment when you friend or follow someone you don't really know? Similarly, are you supposed to comment when they friend or follow you if you don't know them that well/at all?
I suppose it's one of those things where you can do whatever, but one is seen as slightly more or less bitchy than the other.
And then the dilemma, start working on the synopsis for the dragon thing (which I hate doing) or waste time writing long fanfic insane thing that's eaten my brain? Dammit. *Or* brainstorm online with someone this original thing that would be awesome but which will likely never get written? ARGH.
Also I am still thinking on the charity thing. Would people bid on me if I offered a short story or something? A free book? hmmm

May. 15th, 2011 02:23 pmWord count fail. I'm at the second to last scene, and I'm already over the word limit for the short story thing.
What to do? I suppose I could proceed and then either expand or cut. But damn it all.
Ooh or I could give up and play around on Twitter.
