Long Rambling Post about teh Writing....

I finished the roooough draft of The Hero's Wife last night and stuck it in a file to age. I think there's a good idea behind this story, and it's an Urban Fantasy-ish piece, which I rarely do, but right now I'm gonna step back. I suspect I was trying to 'say' too much all in one story, and need to go back and prune and shape. I'm just not ready now.

I felt kind guilty when I realized I've only had two sales this year. I saw that I only had 4 things out on Duotrope. And then I suddenly realized....
( Long-winded writing stuff under the cut. )

Enough with the writerly stuff.

My heel continues to feel better. I keep noticing that I'm walking funny, with my foot curled around the old hurt spot. I'm working to get rid of that, as it's a learned behavior. Oddly, I didn't notice I was doing it before...not until the hurty spot was gone. Then I kept thinking 'Why am I walking like that?'.

Another thing to work on. Going joggin' now.

Meme going around...

* Post 3 things you've done in your lifetime that you don't think anybody else on your friends list has done.
* See if anybody else responds with "I've done that." If they have, you need to add another!(2.b., 2.c., etc...)
* Have your friends cut & paste this into their journal to see what unique things they've done in their life.

OK,

1) Took a week-long camel safari in the Outback...

2) Rappelled off the outer lip of the Sun Bowl (at UTEP)

and...hmmmm....

3) Had a short story cited in an article on a site that focuses on "Romance Fiction from an Academic Perspective". Seriously, I'm not making that up. I'm about half-way down the page...
