A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Have fun, wimmin! I'll be there in spirit(s) -- raise a glass for yourselves, and imagine I'm there clinking with you!

Good to hear the workshop was excellent!

Cog comes ever closer to querying. I have a terrible synopsis that will have to be redone and I have a list of problems to address in revision 2.

Thanks. I feel much better about this novel than the first. The first one is going back in the shop before sending it out again.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

So in my freakout this morning, I posted in the wrong thread, but I sold a story to Daily Science Fiction.

I have to thank you guys in this thread who mentioned it, because I didn't know it existed.

Because books.

Yay again!

And that's great news about the second book, Gud.

No matter how nice they are, or how encouraging, three rejections and a rewrite request is not what I ordered for this week. When I am queen, things will be different.

I just wrote a blog post about finding (more of) my people at a writers' conference. It was too long and difficult to explain the (more of) without getting into a whole discussion of the board, so I glossed it, hoping that folks here would know what I meant. You do right?

Signed, sending out my stories until hell won't have them.

Three rejections and a rewrite request is actually a decent ration, babe. Get to work.

Or! Watch Misery Bear. I think I'm in love.
