Thursday night, I went to watch movies at a friend’s house (where my youngest is currently house-sitting). I came home for an hour or so the other day, but quickly wandered back over there for more movies.

January was a busy month, as much for my own writing, as getting Belfire and my client sorted out. We may actually have a path forward now that the snow drifts are out of the way!
I participated in eight challenges so far, with one more to go. Of those nine in total, I’ve completed six; one is ongoing through February, one finishes on the 31st and one is running only this Friday. I’m hoping to see another 2500 words by Friday at midnight, which will put my count for January …

I started to hit on the upcoming changes a bit in my final post for 2013, and I promised a separate post to explain the details. So here it is…

Today is officially the last day of 2013, and we’re still here. It’s been a year that most people are looking forward to seeing shut down, including myself. If I thought 2012 was bad, 2013 tripled the suckage. BUT it also returned a lot of normalcy into our lives, which balanced it out.

It’s the end of another year, and it’s time to look at all the writing done and beta-read, tweaked and edited, primed and primped. You want to send those babies out into the world. You see calls for submissions everywhere, but you’re just not sure… I’ve got a few tips for you.
