This blog has been very boring lately, what with my phone being dead, and all. (i.e. no dialup=no internet)

I finished War of the Worlds, and I agree with Cyn that it would make a great movie just as it's written. I have now gone back to The Log from the Sea of Cortez by John Steinbeck and Ed Ricketts, Jr. If that book did not have a cult following in the 60's, it should have.

"The Daily Grind" will be distrubuted with next week's batch of Critters manuscripts. I hope that will inspire me to revise it. Plus, I hope Log from the Sea will inspire me to get back to "Best Laid Plans."

Meanwhile, I've decided to stop waiting for a last minute blast of inspiration before the Sept. 1 deadline for Firefox News's "It's the End of the World As We Know It" issue. If "A Singular Being" does not get published before then, I will submit it for the "Aliens" issue, deadline March 1st.

I've been actually writing as opposed to writing about writing. Though, I've not been doing the kind of writing I meant to do. I've been spending a lot of time playing with my blog and I'm definitely sure those characters will need their very own book(s).
I don't think there's any point in waiting for you to submit stuff. Get as many irons in the fire as you can manage.

Um... can you clarify the 2nd paragraph?

I look forward to catching up on the "faux blog."

At this point, I probably cannot clarify my 2nd paragraph. It's been awhile since I wrote it. I probably meant that if you have an inkling to submit somethng, just do it. Even if you send it to more than once place at the same time. I think that's what I meant.
