Monday Report: 0 Words.

I wrote nothing this week. I tried on Friday to write my [Fiction] Friday piece but came up with nothing. I was nervous about a job interview etc. Lots of excuses...

Goal: 500 words this week.

Somebody told me once that even baby steps are still steps and, considering the job interview and the homophobe, you've had a pretty high-strung week.

:Hug2:

Welcome back Liam!

Hey Liam! Good to see you slam back to work. Fresh blood.

Well-rested blood too. Like mine. I...um...also have zero words this week. Oh, I do have a submission and a rejection. I have an edit too, but no new words. Unless you count my blog post, which if you're real generous you will.

DL, of course, is not real generous. :(

Greetings Horror Hounds,

I will be back later for pushups and roundhouses. They actually want me to work today, go figure.

Did 3500 words this week, one essay, lots of bad poetry, and a new horror story begins. See you tonight!

hugs and pushups,

Tigress Tyrant

<------ Slinks away, pouting. I just wanted a nibble...

;)

*volunteers*

:D


anyway... nada on the blog. nada on the paying articles (but a project long, LONG in the pipeline has finally shuffled my way, so two weeks of good solid work starts... tomorrow :D)

Did manage to eke out 4000k, about 3/4 of which was new and the rest was revisions.

More to come perhaps this week, depending on how the editing goes, but will try and resub the piece that got turned down two weeks ago. No word yet on the earlier submission...

These were my goals for the week:
[...] edited out bits from someone with far too much time on her hands [...]

um, like, wow.

Not about the goals, which to be honest I didn't really look at. But the meticulous presentation of those goals... all it was missing was a flow chart. I am impressed.


now, knock it off. you're making the rest of us look bad. :D

<---- Pounces on the furry sheep. Nom nom nom nom. Stop whimpering. You volunteered. :D

LOL. What can I say. I wanted to make it easy for our Tigress to see that I've been a good girl. (Unless she counts sheep bites as naughty behavior.) And I like bullet points. They are aesthetically pleasing. ;)

Same Psychosis...different day.
I am up to 5,799 on Fireopal.

Which is, in my opinion, pretty good for only being home about 78 hours last week and that includes sleeping.

Auuugggghhhhh! My eyes, my eyes! Leukman, put a table cloth on that thing at least. There really are some things that man was not meant to know (or see).

On a lighter note I got a rejection for "Night On A Boat" from Fear & Trembling today. It appears that 2 of their editors didn;t care for it much although they said it was an automated rejection. One said "Same old plus the gore doesn't fit their core values" and the other said "This story has gore and shock, but doesn't add anything new to the mythology".

Oh, well. Their loss. Onwards and upwards (or rather downwards on the Ole' Submission Trail list).

:)

Greg,

Sorry about the rejection. It only takes one editor with good taste and you are in. If breaking or bending kneecaps will help, I am there;)

Hugs and pushups,

Tigress Tyrant

Good Morning Hounds!



I wrote 3600 words yesterday but had to stop in the midst of a pivotal scene simply bc my brain ceased to function. I'm happy to report that after some good mediation and a good night sleep, I am up, feeling refreshed and rarin to go!



Happy Writing!
Hinny

Hinny,

Excellent job. 20 roundhouses for you and a pair of matching monkey eyes freshly plucked:D

Hugs and pushups,
Tigress Tyrant

Resurrecting the thread after Hinny killed it...

a good 2000 words in yesterday, with signs of promise today folks :D

(that minty aftertaste is just my mouthwash... hey,*someone* had to give it mouth-to-mouth)

Boston,

Very nicely done. Keep up the output:) 30 pushups for you and a pair of battery terminals:D


Hugs and pushups,

I am taking it no output. Don't make me send the sheep over there to motivate you. I leave him there annoying you until you start posting output and goals

Good thing I sharpened my claws this morning.

Get the eyeballs they are tasty.


:Wha:

either you're very, very good at the limbo, or you're a lot smaller than I thought you were.
Both are true:)

Hugs and pushups,

Tigress Tyrant
