Drood: A Novel by Dan Simmons
Happy Thanksgiving! Mark Twain's Daughter has been sent off to the Interfictions 2 anthology. Good luck little hallucinogenic story! Find your way into an arty anthology! I've also sent it off to interested readers. And now...for something completely different. I'm going to take a break from fiction for a couple of weeks. I owe AniCoz [...]
Mark Twain's Daughter is finished in terms of revision. Tomorrow I will proofread. From the deepest, darkest parts of central Iowa, I...spit at thee? No, I wave at you all! Happy Thanksgiving! Catherine
More of this, then. 3,775 / 4,000(94.4%) Tonight, the internet took me into the exciting world of meningitis. Grim. I cut all the notes away from the bottom of the story and whacked one scene, which cut my word count substantially. However, I fleshed out two scenes, which expanded the story well. It looks like [...]
The worst that can happen is rejection. E.C. Myers mentioned that Sybil's Garage was taking submissions until November 30th. Honestly, the Susy Twain story I'm working on now is probably more Sybil's usual cup of tea. That said, all I have laying around right now is Two Vampires and a Panel Discussion, which is a [...]
It's the busy season at work, but I'm popping in long enough to tell you that the next piece of Blood is Thicker than Water is up. Other than that, you'll have to use your imagination about my life right now. Not too much, but just the right kind. Catherine
Good-bye, Hulk Hercules! Fly away to Cat's Curious! Get edited and returned! Be witty enough to sell movie rights! *** We return you to Susy Twain, already in progress. Catherine
Not the day I had planned, I returned from my Russian lesson to Cedar Rapids, and as I reached the edge of town, my check engine light came on. If the check engine light graces the Hyundai dash, it's a real problem. I drove across town to our beloved mechanic Firestone, where Dan told me [...]
Mark just sent his reading notes, and I'll most likely spend tonight comparing copies with his before moving back into Mark Twain's Daughter. BTW, GMail has awesome new theme tags, which might make all the difference in whether you want gmail or not. I have ninjas, and they are cute. Right now, I have an [...]
I managed to get some words down, and I have the first draft of Mark Twain's Daughter. Yes, it's stinky. My first drafts are always chaotic and stinky. It's that massive mess that you make when you first redecorate the room, and there's no real shape but a box. The plaster is in everything, and [...]
And that's the wrestling integrated into Hulk Hercules. That's all I can do. I await feedback from my readers, and I will send it off no later than the 28th. Yeah! Sonya, I've sent you an email to this effect, so it's coming soon. Now, to hammer out a rough draft of a different sort [...]
