I've just been slacking off. Well, I was also legitimately sick for a little while, but otherwise I've been slacking off. "Wild" is still in desperate need of revision but the more I look at it the more frustrated I become. I do already have a few ideas for the next story on my list though, so I guess I haven't been totally wasting the last month.
What I have been spending my time on is coming up with ideas for DIY Christmas gifts. I made the mistake of joining Pinterest and I've been totally sucked into the vortex of homemade handicrafts. This is probably going to take up a good deal of my spare time this December, but I'm going to make a point to find some time to write. Working title of the next story? "Splash Page". I'm all about comic book references, after all.
I'll also try not to let so much time pass by between posts here. I want to have something new up every two weeks at least. Between the holidays, finals week, my upcoming legal issues, and getting to work on "Splash Page", I'm looking at a very busy month. Here's to January, when everything slows down!

November already?
Yeah, I've already broken all the promises I made a few posts ago. "In a Land Still Wild" is finished but I haven't done any significant revisions yet, and I haven't touched Fairway. I should have the revised portions of "Wild" by next week though, so keep an eye out for that. Of course, this means I'm already behind schedule for this month's short story. Eh, oh well.
Have you ever tried to write while intoxicated with cold medicine? Everything is so WEIRD.
Oh, speaking of weird, the Vandermeers have a new anthology out of Weird fiction. It looks awesome, as always, but of course it won't be released in the States until next year. Boo.
I'm wanting to go on a massive rave about Steampunk and genre fiction, but I'm still way too out of it. I may scribble a bit tonight and post next week when I put up the revised portions of "Wild". Right now, however, I'm going to go home, read my class assignment, bake Autumn cup squash for dinner, and revise, revise, revise. There may be more cold medicine in my future as well.
