A Writing List

The internet is certainly quiet during World Fantasy and the beginning of NaNoWriMo. As it should be.

Today's update: have begun reworking the ending of Sister Night, Sister Moon, with the aim of turning it into a full-fledged novella. Have solicited help from writing group in this regard. Have also solicited social writing get together.

Have taken critical look at website and made alteration decisions. Will submit those to webmaster today, and talk more about them over lunch tomorrow. Mmmm, Greek meat pies. This weekend, really gotta hit some modifications to the Baba Yaga paper hard, because Fantasy Matters is in two weeks or so, and I'm on! Also plan to clean house and do some plotting.

So, that was pretty much my plan to take over the world, on schedule. I'll try to send out two or three queries a week until something gives or I run out on Substance, keep circulating Mistoreth's Eyes until something gives or I run out of paying venues (the days of just for exposure are over for this writer!).

New Plan for World Domination

1. Continue submissions to viable markets/agents.
2. Complete website updates.
3. Rewrite ending of Sister Night, Sister Moon.
4. Submit SNSM to novella venues.
5. After you hear from [livejournal.com profile] sonyamsipes, begin Hulk Hercules.
6. Write Gossamer and Viridian.

As you see, 5 and 6 will be a time sink. But I'm looking forward to something new.

Write well. Be well.

Wow...you sound very busy, but you also seem really happy and productive. I have great faith in your success!

Thank you! I know you are also busy, but happy and productive.

It's part of my retirement plan to have royalties to supplement my pension, so I can take some of the edge off that bed and breakfast. :) This is how we start, slow and steady.

The two new titles are both a new project and an old one. One is a book for Cat Scratch press, an emerging small press, about kids encountering mythological gods in modern life.

Gossamer and Viridian is a faerie story I began sometime ago, and will return to.

Sister Night Sister Moon is a novella about muses.
