There's even a new blood substitute that is supposed to be working miracles on the battlefield and in forward medical trauma units (that one I don;t know much about yet).

Interesting stuff, Greg. I may have to snag this for a story.

Evening, Hounds.
I'm staring at a short story tonight and not making any progress.
Hope everyone else is doing better than me today.

I've heard about that powder for wounds before.

Interesting sidenote, my aunt was a respiratory therapist at a VA hospital. She said it was insane the number of soldiers coming back with respiratory diseases because of all the cooties and nasties in the sands of Afghanistan. I spoke to her this morning.

*glues things to the ceiling*

afternoon Hounds.

Thread's been quiet, so I'm going to presume we're all being productive. At least, that's my current operating theory.

:e2writer:

I yam being productive! Verra much so. *nods*

*glues effy to the ceiling*

this is what you get for being the first to pop in. Don't worry, it'll wear off... eventually.

Leukman · Mar 15, 2010

Would you mind glueing me to Effy?

kthnx*waits*.

soapdish · Mar 15, 2010

I'm not being productive (writing wise). And I'm wicked pissed about it.

*huffs glue and waits for anger to dissolve*

Oooh. Does I get a monkey on my back?!? *waits*

*taps foot on ceiling* Well? I'm WAITING, dammit!

But I like it up here...

(Sorry for popping in and out. I'm working like a madwoman on my novel--even if I do keep deleting stuff and redoing it, it's coming along nicely. I think this is the cleanest first draft I've ever had, now that I have the right premise and plot. After a thirty thousand word discovery mission. Which totally pissed me off, but you know.)

Ha!

I was flat out yesterday - actually doing work - and a few others things, and it killed me.

Think I'm back to my normal lazy routine today.

FOTSGreg · Mar 15, 2010

I redid a website this afternoon. The owner of the site did not like the design his graphic designer used to set up the original pages and, quite frankly, I thought the design was horrid (black and orange background which, wile they might be Sooner colors, sure do look bad on a contractor website).

Still a few tweaks that need to be done, but you can view it here if you like,

www.homeguardconstruction.biz

Not horror-related, but I do manage to make a few extra dollars (very few right now) for web design work and business record-keeping.

FOTSGreg · Mar 15, 2010

I just posted an excerpt from my book Hatchings on my blog. I'll be posting another couple of chapters as I ramp things up to its release (as a self-published e-novel - probably off Smashwords) in July.

Enjoy. If anyone wants to review the whole book, get in contact with me at [email protected].

Gotta' build the hype and fan-base somehow...

FOTSGreg · Mar 15, 2010

Hmmm, zahra started my mind to wandering on the other thread - I wonder if I could redo/restart Gated as a Quentin Dallas story...

I'd have to add a supernatural element and maybe take out the terrorists, but...

Hmmmmmmm...

kthnx*waits*.

Wait your turn.

soapdish said:

No. No sniffing glue. That's bad. Besides... screw up with this stuff and you'd glue your nostrils shut.

Then you'd talk funky.

EFCollins said:

Not unless I cut a hole in the ceiling. Sorry, how else did you think i had you glued up there?

So... best I can do is...

*glues Leuk's tail to ceiling fan*

Don't worry, the fan's been broken for quite awh-

Oops, look at that. No it isn't.

*redabs Effy*

that's it, my work is done here for tonight Hounds.

(someone turn off the fan before leaving the room? 'k, thanks

)

two words:

Zombie Terrorists.

There, *now* my work is done.

:sleepy:

bsolah · Mar 15, 2010

What? Where you going Boston?

I'm awfully bored here.

TedTheewen · Mar 15, 2010

Terrorists are just Freedom Fighters who haven't won yet. I'd like to work some terrorists in a WIP. In fact, that does give me an idea.

jodiodi · Mar 15, 2010

I had some terrorists in two or three of my fantasy romances I've since trunked. Even though they were my best work.

bsolah · Mar 15, 2010

*crawls out of P&CE*

Look what I get up to when I don't have to do any work?

dgrintalis · Mar 16, 2010

It's 6:00 a.m., and I'm not even tired. Can I technically pull an all-nighter if it's nearly daylight outside? LOL

Hmm... I'd say yes if you managed to make it another hour or so. Technically. Sunrise in your local wasn't until 7.

However, my own rule of thumb says if I can see without turning on the lights, it's day, no matter if the sun's officially up or not.

So sure, why not?

*passes DG some of the sacred bean, thinking she's going to need it*

:Coffee:

Morning Hounds.

dgrintalis · Mar 16, 2010

I did cave at 7:30, because the puppy came looking for me, then guided me upstairs. He's pretty funny and way too smart - he knew it was past my bedtime.

I slept for a few hours and now I'm back working to my revisions.

Have a great day, everyone!

jodiodi · Mar 16, 2010

Puppies are wise. I always listen to mine. They give great advice.

I'm going to the doctor today to get the results of my echocardiogram. Of course, I have a hideous cough, chest congestion and sinus drainage/pain. Plus, we have to take the kids to their little brother's birthday party this afternoon. He's the demon-child.

~~*does math*~~

*counts on fingers*

:Jaw:

I don't know how you do *anything* on five hours sleep, let alone revise. The words would all be blurring together for me....

... and my cat doesn't care about bedtimes, just mealtimes. Specifically, hers.

TedTheewen · Mar 16, 2010

I had an imaginary dog once. He ran away. I hear he found a home where he gets lots of attention.

Ok, back to work.
