Projects in the Pipe Update

For those of you who are wondering what happened to my Facebook account, and my MySpace account, I've just deleted them. MySpace wasn't doing anything for me, and as to Facebook, well, wave an intellectual property flag in front of an academic, and see what happens. I have found it to be more of a social tool, rather than a writerly one, but I find that there are alternatives to getting the word out about your writing. I also wonder how many writers will continue to use it if it wants their content. I am sorry about disappearing to those who were there, but I'm not about to risk the rights to my words for something as goofy as FaceBook, which, quite frankly, I've never gotten into the groove of.

The edited manuscript for Hulk Hercules is officially on its way back to me. I've received the editing letter this morning, and actually, there isn't a lot of tweaking. More like some polishing and highlighting. Sonya and I negotiated a month, and I've wisely planned its due date to be the week right after spring break, just in case my work life gets out of hand.

I mentioned last week that I had sent the edits of Sister Night, Sister Moon back to Drollerie. Deena and I talked about putting the novella in Drollerie's Things That Go Bump in the Night anthology, rather than publishing it on its own. I hope to reach a broader readership in an anthology, although I regret not having a beautiful muse-y cover for it. The anthology will be an e-anthology, and I'll let you know when it's ready.

And that's today.

The Empty Horizon

I've converted the old manuscript to Scrivener. There's a surprising amount here--about 119 pages, or

50,298 / 100,000 (50.3%)

I really believe that it will be longer than 100K, as I have to add in the magic, and I need to add in Edmond's pieces, as well as flesh out the pieces I already have, and add more. Today's vocabulary word could be unwieldy.

At least I've gotten started. This and Hulk Hercules will be my projects for a bit, as well as getting ready for the reading at Marscon.
