Bad Blogger, no biscuit!
Has it really been almost a month since I checked in? Eugene reminded me today that I have been severely lacking in the post department.
Updates:
1. I am still "moving." (I find it interesting how the bulk of MOVING is actually spent stationary in one of a three activities: packing boxes, pausing to ruminate on the archeological artifacts of your life as you're TRYING to pack boxes, and unpacking boxes) Thankfully after this weekend I will be moved out AND in. Next comes the making a home. What fun.
2. Strange is revised! Its off to some gentle readers and some readers with big sharp scary teeth and large red pens, so we'll find out how well it works in a matter of weeks.
Goddess bless Tazsa, who said very gently (standing back as if she expected my head to pop): its good, but it feels kind of fragmented. Like its an excerpt of something larger.
Me: well, do you want to read the theoretical missing parts -- is it interesting enough.
Taz: oh yeah! It just feels like there's more there than is, there, right now.
LOL. My 10,000 word novelette that WAS masquerading as a short story is now a novel masquerading as a 10,000 word novelette...All I need is a few thousand more words and it will be totally unpublishable. I could weep -- but I'm strangely happy by the fact that it keeps managing to hold its own weight in spite of the size. That's Strange for you.
3. Echo broke his toe. Yeah. My 80lb tough guy Weimaraner busted his big toe on his right hind paw running down the hill in front of the house. One more reason to be glad we are leaving this place. Oh and the fact that my landlord did an unauthorized walkthrough for a potential new tenant yesterday without notifying us first. SIGH...
Back in a flash...
