If I post on my blog, will this fact show up on facebook?

The memoir is finally finished and is now over 22,000 words, so it's BOOK LENGTH! Yay! I can't believe I almost gave up because of the misery that is ANGELA'S ASHES. Thank you Ellen for talking me into participating in the workshop.

In August we adopted 2 new cats, Sam, stripy and gray, with spots on his belly, who Social Tees said was about a year old, and Ginger, a calico kitten about 4 months old in August. They're great, but I still miss Cookie.
Make that ALMOST a year!

It's been over a year. "Being" was rejected by Analog again. It took them longer this time, and they enclosed a copy of the writers guidelines in the SASE, which I don't think they did before, so I feel encouraged. I had meant to submit it to The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, since I don't think my collection will be complete until I have a rejection from them - unless! My printer, which is really old, isn't printing clean copy, so print submissions are going to be a problem.

The memoir workshop is in its 3rd iteration, and I am working on a memoir project that looks to be about 10,000 words when completed. I'm having one of those moments when I'm sick of the project I'm working on and being way too critical of all of my writing. Maybe I need to take a break and read something.
