Putting the E Back Into S*x
Okay, so, I’ve got over my rejection. Actually I’m well over it. Much more so than the previous one. Odd considering how much time and effort I put into this story. And maybe that’s part of it. I’ve learned SO much just in the writing of it that I didn’t feel any of that effort … Continue reading “Putting the E Back Into S*x”
From High to Low
Lucky me, I got an R for the Never Ending Story this morning. And I’m really annoyed about it. I’ve worked for 11 months on that story with the editor. Got the synopsis reworked, the character bios, the partial rewritten twice, and to not even get a request for a full is just so disheartening. … Continue reading “From High to Low”
Thank You Lovely Blog Friends
Today I am sending out HUGE thank yous to all of you who read my chapter in the New Voices comp. I know, there’s still two weeks to go till we hear about the finalists but honestly, I’m so grateful that I almost don’t care if I place or not (almost!). 😉 To say I’m … Continue reading “Thank You Lovely Blog Friends”
Feeling Sick
You know that person who handles stress well? Who is always calm in a crisis? The one who everyone turns to when the pressure is on? I am not that person. I am the person running around like a decapitated chicken trying to squawk through its neck. Or the one quietly throwing up in the … Continue reading “Feeling Sick”
New Voices!
I have a short post over on the Sister’s blog about the New Voices competition. Think I actually may have talked myself out of it! Anyway, there’s cyber drinks for all those entering and hand holding if required. Hoo is buying the drinks and offering tentacles if you need something to squeeze while you hit … Continue reading “New Voices!”
I Swear….
Was really hoping I’d at least get some sort of verdict before the NV competition starts but, well, whaddya know, still no verdict. I have to say I’ve kind of given up on this story. It’s dragged on so long that I’ve already said goodbye to it in my mind. Oh, I’ll be gutted if … Continue reading “I Swear….”
Bad Habits
September already and, hey, whaddya know, I STILL have had no word on my sub. First subbed the synopsis of this story in October last year so if I don’t hear this month, it will mean a year’s wait for a verdict on a partial. So all those of you who guessed dates for the … Continue reading “Bad Habits”
Angry Birds
Okay so no, haven’t had any news since that email from the ed last week. And am feeling frustrated today. The progress of this story feels somewhat akin to Chinese Water Torture and I’m wondering whether in April, when they told me the story needed to be rewritten, I should have just accepted the story … Continue reading “Angry Birds”
The Terrified Optimist
I always thought I was a glass half empty kind of person. But just over the past couple of days, I’ve realised that in fact, I’m not. I’m not even a glass half full kind of person. I’m actually a glass overflowing with the sparkling Waters of Immortality kind of person. I am, deep down, … Continue reading “The Terrified Optimist”
