I've said it before...

and I'll say it again.

I have a weird S&M relationship with my own writing, and half the time, I have no idea who the sub is.

Today? It's me. I should make an icon, because damn.
  • I finally got a "your story sucked" letter from Writers of the Future, which, I guess, means that I can send the thing off to the next place. I guess I should, you know, make a list.
  • The novelthing mocketh me mightily. At least my Writing Buddy (who rocketh mighily) gave me a reason why my Bad Guy would put a starving vampire in a room with a helpless werewolf, so I should be able to bang out 500 words of effortless prose tonight. I hope.
  • Whether that will bring me up to my Weekly Goal is anyone's guess; I need to Do Math again.
  • The Ghost Ship story is stalled.
  • The re-write for the Abducted!Werewolf story is ... going nowhere. Yeah, I don't even know on that one.
  • The printer is giving me fits. Again. Maybe we should just scrap the damb thing and buy a new one. *glares* I was going to have Pages for my Writing Buddy tonight. And that didn't happen.

    Feh. Feh, fie, and woe.

    ETA: And my bad mood is gone, just like that. I should have checked my gmail BEFORE starting this rant, clearly. I just got an email from the handsome and talented editor of Darwin's Evolutions, he still wants the Werewolf Fic, and he's in the process of sending me cashy money.

    I think most creative people have a weird S&M relationship with what they do (I love the way you put, I never thought of it like that).
    Maybe that's why one popular view of creatives is that they are 'driven' and a bit odd for not doing 'normal' things?

    Well, we are driven and odd. I make no pretense about either. *snicker*
