The State I Am In

Six things make a post.

1- I’m watching the Cubs game (no shock). I’m pretty sure that that there are pixies and brownies that float around Carlos Zambrano’s head that only he can see. Sometimes he yells at them, and sometimes they goad him into doing crazy things. I think that my theory explains much.

2- Murder Ballads is 70% revised. I hit a rough patch this week, but overall I’m still pretty happy with it. My goal is to have the whole damn thing revised and in the hands of my beta readers by WindyCon. I’m also going to be workshopping the first chapter at the con. I wish that I could also send in the second chapter, but that puts the manuscript at 1000 words over the maximum of 7500 words.

3- I am really slogging through the Fluid Links's writing. I’ve reached the point where I have to contact some of the authors for interviews or other requests. The results have been...interesting.

4- The call is out for Chicago TARDIS panel ideas. I’ve been working with the Mad Norwegian on some topics. Feel free to make suggestions.

5- We bought a laser pointer for the cats. Molly enjoys it. I feel really lazy when I use it.

6- This has been my week for beta reading with stuff to critique from kelly_swails and torresroman. Beta reading is fun, but a bit exhausting. I’m beginning to think that this writing lark might be hard work. ;)
