That's ok, Lily - we thought you'd married DH Lawrence.
I write about the undead--but that's as far as I go!
ARGH!
Well, i should feel better, shouldn't i?
I'm not making my goals this week, folks--punish me as you must. I just bought a new flashdrive and it just dumped my whole short story. Not sure what i've got saved on the home 'puter, but it's at least 2k words shy.
And i'd just, finally, figured out that tricky beginning paragraph!
::sob::

I'm pretty sure we've all done that, Cathy. Dog knows I have. And it does suck. My condolences, but you've got to suck it up and rewrite the thing. I'll bet it comes out even better this time.
After you've done that, you can help me maim some of Callalily's managers. Then we'll go after the manufacturer of your flashdrive.

::narrows eyes at Callalily's managers:: I bet they *are* the flashdrive's manufacturers! A pox on them, i say! Right on their naughty bits!

Um... I work in AIDS research. I've seen photos of some scarily-poxed naughty bits.
{{{cathy}}} Been there, done that, too. The rewrite really will come out better. Honest.

Oh, little undead doggie... there are some highfalutin' cousins of yours on TV right now strutting their stuff.
You want we should show 'em what a REAL Horror Hound looks like?

Best curse I ever heard, from a colleague of mine:
May the fleas of a 1000 camels infest your armpits.
Course, he could say it in Arabic which made it sound really cool.

Alas, no. Some weird-looking little dog with cat ears and a face that looks like he ran into a car he was chasing won. I'm seriuos about the cat ears.

Thats just so wrong.

Cool
Quick question: you have fleas?

I've been known to flee from time to time, but never fleas.
LMAO
But let me get this straight--there is another camel?

*flops on moldy straw-covered cell floor, oblivious to the rats and vermin*
I beta'ed an entire book this weekend. 300+ pages. Started Friday night, finished at 11:30 pm Sunday night. (Fellow writer had a pub request the full, and asked for my Grammar Goddess eyeballs.)
Said eyeballs are weary and bloodshot. However, before the weekend marathon I got in about 300 words on the fantasy rewrite.
DL, you'll have to crouch to give me any roundhouses. I'm too pooped to pop.

*flops on moldy straw-covered cell floor, oblivious to the rats and vermin*Listening to the Camel whine about my housekeeping--is bad enough. Keep it up and you will have to share a room with the werewolf--kids these days

Ge'ez busy Cal,
Good job--on beta'ing. 20 roundhouses for you when you can stand up.
Haven't seen any articles that say crazed writer attacks co-worker---so I hope things are better there---and for a special treat---you get to ruff up the next horror hound that posts after me
Hugs and pushups,
Tigress Tyrant

2000 words this week--not satisfied. The story felt like it was going to work better--I might change the (person) of the story--to see if it moves better-- might even ask a handsome horror hound to look it over before I post it. *smiles sweetly* got some poetry done, too--not postable starts her 40 sit-ups!
Goal 1200 words--and a finished story.

Busy week.
Finished a 200+ word book I'm betaing for a friend and wrote out notes.
Tinkered with my blog. Okay. I just added a widget/gadget/or what ever you call them.
Got four rejections--three of them within about 4 hours on the same day.
Re-subbed two back out.
Took a look at reworking one of the other rejections to make it suitable for an anthology. I'd need to add 1000 words, but I think I've figured out how to do it. It should make it a better story too. Darker as well, which it needs.
Kicked new story ideas back and forth with my sometimes co-writer.
Wrote probably less than 50 new words.
Goals -- 1000 words.
