An Unofficial NaNo Part 2
Bleugh, I'm sleepy. Don't direct any pity whatsoever to me; Ash got up at 6am to faithfully go to uni. I'd skip the damn seminar if it was me.
So, I got a reply from one of the editors I emailed saying that they don't want my carnivalesque piece, but are happy to read other things, so I sent him my poisoner piece. I haven't done anything with it yet (I guess I've been 'saving it up' in a sense) so godspeed to that particular piece of work. If it does get published, lo, I will dance and be merry. If not, I'll send it elsewhere and keep my fingers crossed!
I'm thinking about making myself do another Nano-type hard slog. I could do it, but I wouldn't have the fancy charts on my side. Still, it would be awfully good for my writing if I could force myself to write 2000 words a day. Eugh, just thinking about it makes me cringe. Why don't we ever like the things that are good for us? (Aside from Swedish hard bread. The stuff is god, I tell you.) I suppose I should push myself. I'll be very happy later on when I have a first draft under my belt.
Well, then. No time like the present. Banner waving and words of encouragement are welcome!

Wow- that must be a huge boost to have the editor say they like you even if they don't like the piece! Congrats and good luck with the Poisoner one.
*grin* Thanks Kepp! I reckon it might just do well.

Umm...
Go M! Write until your eyes bleed!
Oh yes, write! Write until...until what? Until words swim in your blood? I bet they already do.
Writing. A dance, amidst the strange people of words. Write, write, and you'll have a lot of wordfriends. *winks*
Your poison piece is excellent, Em. It will definitely get accepted somewhere... they'd be daft not to have it!!
Absolute best of luck with it. :)
Emma will do just fine.
Eh...unless her eyes DO start to bleed, yes?
And then Rian would recommend an exorcist. Or THE FLAMING ORCHID.
Another NaNo... *shudders* Well, if you decide to jump into it, best of luck in keeping your sanity. ;) At least there's no deadline though.
