Freddie's Braindroppings

Looks like the summer's over, huh? It's Labor Day today, aka the unofficial last day of summer. Though one look at the weather for this week makes it pretty clear nature's not ready to let go of the heat just yet. I have the day off today so I figured I should get some writing in, at the very least some planning and blogging. Less Than Three has put out a new anthology call , this time for fairy tales. I'm really excited about this one, because I have a few fairy tales I've already written I could rework, but there's one in particular about the moon that I never finished. This is the perfect opportunity, and better yet, I have until The end of March which means I can continue work on the two stories I'm currently working on getting done before the end of the year. The story I'd originally intended for the Lovely Dark and Deep  anthology is now firmly into novella length. I don't expect it will be long enough to be a novel, but it's cert...

There are now samples of my writing up on my website! Okay only three, but there are more to come. Also, I figured out a new (hopefully better?) commenting system on my website as well, so if you want to comment on said samples, you may. I am a little more than a week away from the Lovely, Dark, and Deep deadline and while I think I can finish by the 31st, I'm worried I may not be able to get someone who has time to give it a once-over with notes for correction before then. I asked for an extension on my last submission so I don't want to do it again, but at the same time... Well, let's worry about that if I don't finish by tomorrow... Tootles!

I feel like I accomplished a lot today. Not only did I get the story I'm hoping to submit to Less Than Three's Lovely, Dark, and Deep  anthology completely outlined, I have about 2,000 words written. I need to make sure to write each weekend at minimum and I'll have it done by the deadline. Hopefully I can get a little written every day now it's outlined. I'm pretty excited about this and the following anthology too. In fact, I have plans for  Lovely, Dark, and Deep , Villains, Inc ., and Intertwined ! After I got my writing done for the day, I tinkered around on my website. Not only did I manage to get my Blogger feed integrated onto my site, I also found a way to connect my blog to Tumblr! So now I don't have to post after the fact and link back to the blog - it does it automagically. Yessss. Unfortunately, now it's getting late and I have to start winding down for bed so I can go to work in the morning. Ugh. Mornings. Monday mornings. I lo...
