So, I was having one of those weekends where I said (f) it all, and I walked away. Well, I walked away from parts of my daily routines; I didn’t do Myspace and Facebook things obsessively, I didn’t do forums, emails, editing, or Cubis (ok, I did some Cubis). I did watch Most Haunted and I did do my blog reading.
And, I went through all of my recently rejected material, set ‘em up for submissions and got busy with that. However – I gaffed. BIG TIME. At one of the …

Few things -
I don’t think I’ll be online much this weekend. I’ve had an emotional day and frankly, I’m wanting to get away from it all without doing more damage to the inside of my cheek…
I have some slush to finish up, wrap up a few other things and work on the giant Yule newsletter – so that should occupy my time.
I have some advertising space in the newsletter. Similar to last time, only I want shorter text blurbs, and non-animated banners. Just because I’m not sure I can make …

I’m workin’ on the newsletter, but I had to break for LOLz. Look what I founded!

(Re-post from Myspace)
Last month, I chose not to renew my contract with an epublisher I’d worked with. I was unhappy with the lack of contact from the company in regards to questions – I would only receive responses to my queries (of which there were damn few, let me tell ya) if I posted them to their chat list, or cc’d other parties (such as my darlin’ Louise).
So, it took two weeks for a finalization on my release from contract. I was told I’d have the final royalty statement to …

At last, NaNoWriMo winds to a close. I finished yesterday evening, and although the story itself is not complete, I verified my file. I am NOT making the same mistake as last year by putting it off until too late. I *did* finish last year, but when I got to the site to verify, it was just a bit too late. I think it was somewhere shortly after 1 AM…
*sigh* And it’s not going to be ready for the Delacorte deadline, but perhaps next year. Or not. There are a …

But that means Yule and Christmas are just around the corner… blah. …

I just read Louise Bohmer’s blog and re-post similar sentiments here.

I can’t even find the right words, really. One of the first introductions to Metal I had was through this man’s voice. I played Metal Health so often that the tape warped. I think one of the first times D sang to me it was Love’s a Bitch. (cuz, ya know, I am… ) My CD version is so worn and scratched it hardly plays anymore, but I’ll tough it out tonight.
He, his …
