Congratulations to me!

Just found out I got an acceptance!  It’s been…a very long time.  Whew hew!

Comment, please!

I can't comment on Blogger unless I enable cookies--do you have the same problem?

If comments aren't working for you, there's a comment form over to the right side.  Or, someone tell me how to get the normal comments working.  I even allow anonymous comments! For now, at least.

Out with the old

Getting rid of old PC today.  It’s still working, though old, and I’d really have preferred to donate it to a person or charity, but I’m too paranoid about the hard drive.  I’ve wiped it, several times, but I keep reading online that wiping isn’t enough.  You need to physically destroy the hard drive before you give it away.

I was going to do the Dell-Reconnect with Goodwill, but wouldn’t you know it – there’s not a location anywhere near me!  I thought all Goodwill stores were participating, but the closest one is in the next state.  Poo.  So, recycling it is.

They sure don’t make it easy.

I’ma test this out

…cause I’m an artist, and I’m sensitive about my shit!

So I just figured out I can update this using Windows Live Writer!  Excellent!

I’m on the shortlist for an anthology.  Keeping fingers crossed.

I’m finding it difficult lately to make writing decisions.  I think I’m going to write something, and then I change my mind, and then change it back again.  I’m a slow writer.  I wish calls for submission were posted a full year in advance of the deadline, regardless of the length.

I wish I could drink loads of caffeine.

I need someone to give me writing assignments with deadlines, and hold me accountable!  I do ok with deadlines!

I just don’t think I can write an entire 8000 word story in 2 weeks.  Not a good one, anyway.  I should be able to do it—I have written stories longer than that in shorter periods of time, but nothing suitable for publication.

I just don’t know.  My writing confidence is shot.

The Game of Waiting

Waiting to hear back about stories I've submitted.

Waiting to get in the mood to write.

Waiting to...feel...better.  For more than 15 minutes at a time.
