That writing thing.
After the initial panic and rage upon learning that I had to take a four day work week and make do on $600 less a month, I decided that I was going to EMBRACE this opportunity and, you know, write. Possibly finish the story I wrote in class last year and submit it (probably fruitlessly) for publication. And I have kept to that – I’ve written something most of my off days in the month of January.
The thing is what I’ve written has all been, um, fanfiction. For Merlin.
So my goal for Friday is to open up “Gameplay,” flesh out the dance scene, edit the hell out of it, and start looking for magazines that accept genre short fiction – easier said than done, if I’m remembering my initial flip through the Fiction Writer’s Market correctly.
This is, of course, if I don’t get another plot bunny. If that happens then I foresee this getting pushed back to February.
