Twisted Fairytale

Things just get more interesting.

Samhain, Loose ID, and Ellora’s Cave will lose their RWA recognition after the changing of rules, yet again.

Find Miss Angela James’ (Executive Editor at Samhain) very eloquent and professional response at Dear Author.

I think she makes a very valid argument. These are high quality presses. Nothing about them will change other than their status with RWA. They are still producing the same quality fiction, the same interesting books. Anyway, check it out.

So I gotta admit, the Blog-o-sphere feels a bit empty with so many people off at RWA. I bet they’ll have all sorts of goodies to share with us when they get back. In the meantime, I do have a few other fun things to occupy my time.

Romance Divas has been having holding a “Not going to Nationals” conference. A way to help us who were unable to make it for whatever reason feel a little less left out. ;)  

Midnight Moon Cafe is holding their anniversary celebration. That’s been fun at every corner. I really love it there. Check it out, I’m sure you’ll find something of interest. An author, a flash fiction, a wereanimal. They’ve got it all.

I finally managed to add another 550 words to my WIP. Not a lot, but I’m putting just a bit in, little by little. I was having some trouble with a few scenes so I brainstormed. Got some great notes down. Now it’s only a matter of actually sitting down to write. Sometimes, that in itself seems so impossible. I find a million other things to do instead! I have to learn discipline.

 In the meantime, I guess some progress is better than none, right? I’ll keep chugging along until I find another writer’s high. There are little pockets of it everywhere. I just feel like Mario, from Super Mario Bros. Always having to traverse secret worlds to find it.
