Sorry about my whinge yesterday - a necessary venting, but I'm over it and moving forward.
Unfortunately my little girl is sick again, her sore throat/tonsillitis looked to be clearing up but seems to have become more overnight. This morning she lost her voice - day after tomorrow, we go on holiday.
Give a shit about getting a knock back on a story when my little one is facing a terrible holiday ahead if she can't kick this thing to the curb in a hurry. Kind of puts thing back into better perspective.
So today I'm sitting at home again. I've managed to update the market information for AHWA so if you're a member, go have a look. A couple of markets have died and I've added a couple of new ones. For everyone else, Byzarium and From the Asylum has gone under, and Bards & Sages Quarterly, and Hub are worth a look. I hadn't realised Hub had increased their payment by so much - very much worth it when you take the conversion rate into account. Unfortunately they are closed for subs right now, but you should sub once they reopen.
I revised Wamphyri once more, cutting 20 or so words to just tighten it up a little. I actually cut a lot more but I rewrote other bits to end up with an overall reduction of only 21 words. This has now gone back out to market.
I'm two-thirds of the way through my current book and have finished rebuilding the other family computer. I now wait for the garage to phone to tell me my car has been serviced and is ready for me to go driving long distance in.
Time to go watch a flick, and then go get the car. I'm hoping I find some time tonight to revise my new, currently untitled, story for the Christmas antho Festive Fear.
Next week will be AKL and maybe a couple of assignments. If getting back from the site AKL took place doesn't inspire me to get a good deal of it done, then maybe I need a new project.
Speak soon

Back In The Saddle Once More

Just read your previous post then. Totally understandable to react that way. Perhaps that's why I've held off subbing some of my own stuff...
ReplyDeleteI might have to check out your markets then; I haven't actually explored that part of the site.
Hope your little one gets better and you have a good break.
I hope your little girl gets better soon. There's nothing worse than being sick on hols.
ReplyDeleteHope your little one feels better, really quickly at that. Have a nice holiday.
ReplyDeleteI have a good feeling about Wamphyri.
Speedy recovery to the little one, and enjoy the holiday.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys - wishes have been passed on and she now thinks she's the centre of the world - at least it's brought a smile to her face.
ReplyDeleteBring on the holidays!
