kittydesadeThere are some things just too funny not to share. The Scottish Attack Squirrel of Doom is one of them. Fear the Squirrel!
Well, I got all the stories together, now I just need to wrangle them in shape to send them out. Four more stories, to four more publishing companies. And it's occurred to me that if I'm going to keep this up I need to write more stories. A lot more. And I need to make them actually short story length, not short short length. Because I get impatient and I never want to finish short stories so they wind up too short. Or too long, in which case they end up being novels.
And either way, that takes care of the March Submission dare thingie on FM, submit to a children's mag. Because one of the stories is going to Highlights. You know, the kiddie mag they have in doctor's offices and school counseling offices and... well, generally all over the place? Fear the Highlights for Children. I do. I have no idea if I can write kids' stuff or not. But I will give it a shot. Have given it a shot. And will post said shot on my writing journal as soon as I give it a thorough going over.
Man, I love this new keyboard. My fingers just fly!
Fraghle. I should get all that done before Kingdom Hospital tonight, but I don't want to. At least I got another chapter of Understanding up on the Pit of Voles (why do I keep posting fic there? why?) and some icons made. Silly icons. Touching Evil icons. But they're pretty icons nonetheless. Man, I love Touching Evil. And lo, I did ramble on and on and on.
Dammit. I'm going to go upstairs, I'm going to get off my ass and edit those stories and mail them out on Monday. Prep on Wednesday, reward myself with Kingdom Hospital, mail on Monday. Seems to work. Maybe when Kingdom Hospital goes off I'll prep on Friday and reward myself with Touching Evil. Mmm. Touching Evil. Why does that sound so dirty. And maybe I'll work on my column some, too, since.. well, y'know, it's been ages. And I'm such a fucking slacker.
