agilebrit: (Write Dammit)
Apparently this is the week of "Yes, I can do that." (Hat-tip to Kevin J. Anderson.)

Can you get these edits done in a week? Yes, I can do that.

Can you help me write this fight scene in a universe you adore? Yes, I can do that.

Can you write a blurb for this novella? Yes, I can do that.

Can you get me this novel outline by mid-July? Oh, God, I hope so. Yes, I can do that.

Can you write a story for this anthology? Yes, I can do that.

The last one, I have asked myself, not being actually invited. But I am doing some really interesting research for it, and I love weird westerns (I've written two, both of which have been published), and OMG lookit those anchor authors I want to be in this thing so freaking much yes please. Hubby and I hashed out the basic plot over dinner last night (and, had I thought about it, I would have saved that receipt for tax purposes, because that meal was totally writing-related even if it didn't start out that way). I can, most certainly, write a 3000-7000-word story by the end of September. The outline commences now.

In other news, we have sold the airplane. The kitten continues to be amusing, and she and Grace sniffed noses with no hissing this morning. And, in case you missed it, Far Fetched Fables is going to do an audio version of my cat-hoarding dragon story.

Good things happening.

Cats are strange critters. This is an indisputable fact. I have owned (or been owned by) three cats. None of them are what I would call "normal." Of course, what's "normal" for a cat is an open question. I mean, really, it's no wonder that so many superstitions surround them.

John Scalzi, for those who have missed the wank going on at [livejournal.com profile] sfwa, is a write-in candidate for President of the Science Fiction Writers of America. I haven't actually read any of his books, but I'm going to make it a point to look for them next time I'm at the bookstore. Or...hey. Abebooks. Because the man makes me laugh and I'm close to thinking he's rather brilliant.

Anyway. He makes a post about his cat killing a couple of bunnies, and the comments explode with stories about the bloodthirsty little beasts (cats, not bunnies, although an argument could be made...).

I posted about our Audrey-kitty as well. I'm "Julie," down there at the bottom. Everyone on my flist who has cats will nod knowingly at the post and the comments. Go forth, read, and be entertained.

In other news, I slept really crappily last night. Blargh.

But I need to figure out what's next in the WerewolfFic. Life has just gone disatrously wrong for my characters. Now I need to decide if it's ever going to be right again.
