Going Nowhere Fast

"If a book is not alive in the writer's mind, it is as dead as year-old horse-shit."
Stephen King

Angel Blaze won't leave me. Can't not write this one. Furthermore, it won't let Blood Race die off as a result.

*insert big smilie face here*

Oh, and Gambit is playing all by himself in the living room. He thinks there should be catses in my novels. Must obey the Ginger One.

Neglect

I know, i've been terrible. I've neglected everything of late. The Eljay, Twitter, Facebook and even this blog. Can't help it, seems everyone wants chunks of my time these days. I haven't even done the edits to 'Angel Blaze'! Spank me.

So where am I? Well, all writings are coming along (rather slowly). AB should be done and ready for submission before NANO. The short porn piece will also be ready by then so I will have 2 pieces to put out there. AB has also given me the basis for a solid world building scenario for the Blood Race series. All is good, I think.

Day job is going as plodding as ever. Really miss my old gang but life goes on. The new romance is great. He even has me choosing pink lingerie - a freakin first!

My new niece is adorable and does all her screaming across the street at her own house. Boo takes it in her stride. Catses are fine. Gambit never shuts up and SidSid grumbles daily about how unfair her life is. Ambra is perpetually trying to catch ear cancer from sunbathing on the balcony.

I think that about covers it. Other than having no free time at the moment, im looking forward to NANOing this year and to actually getting 1 novel and 1 short finished. Then I will think about web presence and networking more...

Blah

I keep forgetting the password for this place. And i'm too lazy to update here and on LJ. MUST.BE.LESS.LAZY.

This holiday weekend I have been naughty. More on that to follow at LJ.

On the writing front i've achieved zip.

I have networked a wee bit and found some e-zines to submit to. This will look spiffy on the writing resume when trying to woo kickass agents. I really, really want to be with F Agency (UK) or with FA Agency (US). I just have to get myself organised.

Anyhoo, that's where I am. Gambit is watching my type from beside the laptop and we are going to go clean the flat in a minute. Then I have to text Katrina and cancel our New Moon & Munchies date. I have a weird throat and ear thing going on and can't be arsed going oot.

Catch ya at LJ!

Hmnn

Experimenting with new blog layout. Not liking super skinneh wench on the corner though. And the pink makes me gag.

Hmnn...

Okay, so I should be writing or tidying up the networking links but I can't be arsed and Katrina is due up soon to show me her new smooshie puppies. Not to mention Jeneral and I have a Skype date soon. Busy, busy and i'm still not dressed.

That's Sunday for ya!

Here'ssssss Jinty!

I finally got a steady, reliable internet connection AND I remembered my google password. The trifecta comes with news that I also got SKype so I can actually converse with my h0Rz.

I'm still checking in on the various sites you are all on as well as ploughing through emails.

So i'll check in soon with a proper update.

ps If you're reading this from LJ, tell the rest!

Dumbass

I forgot my google password. Sorry for the absenteeism!

So, I am officially on Twitter now and I feel like a twat.

Urgh.

Well, i'm a busy bee. I have sucked up the pride and am working on short pieces for some epubs. No money in it but it will look good on a covering letter and I figure getting some readers on the porno side may hook them over to my better stuff. Shall keep you posted.

LJ post is due soon. Can't talk LJ stuff here.

Be wicked, my bbs.

Alopecia of the Ballbag

Over in Lj-land the question of the day yesterday was:

"From Dr. Polidori's Lord Ruthven to Stephenie Meyer's Edward Cullen, the annals of vampire lore are filled with attractive, charming bloodsuckers. Which one would you most want to be bitten by?"

The most common answers were Angel/Spike from Buffy, Lestat and Edward Cullen. Obvious answers with the occaisonal Jean Claude from Anita Blake thrown in. Honestly, where is the Grand Daddy of all fanged fun men? Dracula himself! I especially loved Gary Oldman's tortured emo lusting after his poor dead wife. Stoker's version was a little more subdued but the gist was the same. He wants fanny fun with Mina and he gets it cause he is the Grand Daddy Vampire. Forget the sparkly (no hair on balls) teenager from Twilight or the wangsty Lioncourt from Rice's novels. Don't even mention the vamp who turned a puppet in Whedonverse. Dracula is the original, the best and the only vampire worth being munched by.

In other news I now have flaming red hair. Attempt 1 had me matching my ginger kitten but attempt 2 worked a miracle. Been a busy week and I may or may not be coming down with something. As long as it aint Swine Flu!

Be wicked, Flisters.
