Progress

GUD
I wanted to post this last night, but apparently LJ was down for the count for a few hours. Progress-wise, I didn't do any actual writing yesterday. Instead, I spent a couple hours rereading what I have done right now of the Malinche story, since i haven't worked on it for over a week. Most of it seems pretty good, though there's still quite a few hitches to work out in rewrite, but on the whole it feels worth finishing (even though it at 25k right now and needs probably another 10k to finish.). I'm planning to get back to writing it today.

On the sub front, after about a 2 week dry spell, got two rejections yesterday, one of which had me scratching my head and wondering what the reader was thinking to make such a blatantly false statement about a particular subgenre (and no, I won't go into detail about it. I was quite offended by the stupidity of the remark yesterday but don't want to bring it up full-steam again today. I have far too much real work to do to waste time with it anymore. It suffices me to just say what I've already said about the matter and move on.). I then submitted both stories out again, one to Jim Baen's Universe, the other to Heliotrope.

Last night I stayed up watching United 93. Intense.

I'm so curious about the remark! I think that's more in light of the current conversations around and about regarding genres and sub genres and etc, than actual nosiness on what your reader had said, though.

Good luck with your stories!

Yes, I had trouble with LJ last night as well.

Here's my first post from the new MP, though Clara Bow was much easier on the eyes. lol But it's time to bury here, I think. It was that or give up blogging.
