A dark, evil place.
Once they start, then the muse gets to start being rewarded, gradually, with that sip of beer, coffee, scratching that itch, etc., etc. I don't let myself stop until my goal has been reached, even when Im typing away at the bar (where, believe it or not, some of my best work gets done).

I've done this with mixed results. First of all, my fingers don't like laptops. They just don't. Yet I've finished some stories while I've watched the Pistons lose, the Red Wings win, and the Tigers go 50/50. We won't talk about the Lions. And I've started some stories with a pen on bev naps. Still, I do most of my editing at the local gin mill. I print out my story, take it and a pen with me and have at it.

Um, I'm back. I got alcohol poisoning on Saturday night, and am still feeling gross but back at work. I got some story ideas but I think I forgot them... :tongue

Ben, Ben, Ben. Don't do that anymore. :Wha: That stuff can kill you. Moderation in all things, my friend.

To tired to live... Someone inject me with zombie juice. No one will notice the difference...

Everyone would notice Lily! here *hands lily 4 no doze and a liter of mountain dew jolt* :) that should keep you for an hour at least.

Chin up...it's bound to get better! :D

Do you want any left over psychiatrists? I think I still have some left in my fridge. :D

I like the Dew. Thanks.

Mmm... cold psychiatrist for lunch. Maybe on a bed of spinach with snow peas and sliced portabello mushrooms.

Don't forget the dressing...raspberry vinaigrette or french? :D

Bon Apetite!

Raspberry vinaigrette is a crime against humanity. And raspberries.

A little seasoned rice wine vinegar will do nicely. Some homemade rye as well.

Oh, heck, there's enough for all. Dig in everyone!

Thanks Lily!

Even better the second time around...this rice wine vinegar really brings out the flavor of his notebook and glasses...don't you think? :)

I have a quick question: any and all answers are welcome.

If I have a poem that is actually horror, and I want to post it in SYW where would it go?
Horror or Poetry? It's kind of gruesome, but it is a poem. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I've brought fresh tomatoes and pita bread. White or red wine?

White wine, please.

I hope today is better than last night. I only wrote about 800 words. Not sure why the words weren't coming out. I see this scene very vividly in my head. I hope today will be better.

I think poetry, Hinny, and just say in the thread title that it's horror.

Thanks Lily. I thought so, but I didn't want to upset anyone. The ghost is kind of, very much, super dooper not nice to the girl whose house he lives in...I'll just place a warning :)

Laurie--I'll have the red. :e2drunk:

Good Luck drgintalis! :) Hope your day goes better for you too.

*Pours glass of white for dgrintalis, red for Hinny. Sips iced spring water and leaves extras in the fridge.*

Nah, no sweetarts for me today, thanks. :D

And the answer to chocolate is always "yes" :D

Hinny, I seriously doubt you'd disappoint anyone no matter which forum you posted the work in.

Everyone, I just posted my first story to F&SF this morning. It was, of course, "The Light Of An Oncoming Train" after cutting about 250 words. Now comes the hard part - the waiting for rejection.

Tomorrow, "The Interview" goes out, probably to Black Static or Necrotic Tissue.

Your illustriously-silky-furred mistress tigeriness, does that count as production goals?

I almost forgot! I hit and exceeded my goal of 10,900 this morning while I waited for the guy at the muffler shop to fix the exhaust on the truck. Current total is at 11,350. :D Will see how far I can get with it my Monday morning.
