Winged Shepherd of Innocence

Well I've posted this piece to TPN tonight. I'm allowed to post one piece each week so it's gone up as this weeks offering. I mistakenly thought Grimoire was for last week and this week but the two parts of that were for last week and the week before that - confused - welcome to my world, come on in the waters fine. You must try the beef and the cabaret is performing till next Tuesday!

Crawls around on floor attempting to regather marbles.

I have just finished reviewing the first story (a novella no less) from the magazine I said I'd help a fellow HorrorScoper with. Nearly 20,000 words! Good story though with a nice hidden message played out through metaphors. You'll see what I mean when I finish reviewing the other four (hopefully shorter) stories in the issue.

Got the bedroom to the halfway point today before running out of steam and desire to continue painting. Only the relatively easy bits to do now - should be finished tomorrow.

Nothing else to report since posting earlier today - oh, one last thing. I'm helping AHWA out by gathering information on all writers festivals and conventions held within South Australia so if you have any information that may be of use, even if you think I'd already have it or the festival is too small to worry about, please leave me a comment on it anyway.

Cheers

Painting

I hate painting - have I said that somewhere else on here???? :)

Last night I finished a rewrite of "Drinkers" so it's ready for a final look over by the crit group and then it's out to market.

Finished a rewrite of "ill wind" and have renamed it "Winged Shepherd of Innocence" - cool title I thought. This would have gone to TPN as well but I've run out of time. Working on the poem at the front of it now and then it's off to PARSEC.

Article for SA50s+ has gone in and has been accepted, now just waiting on the published issue to arrive.

I'm up-to-date on my crits but still haven't done the two reviews for HorrorScope - must get to that soon.

Have gone through the crits for "Too Late the Rain" - some interesting comments. Have taken out the thoughts that I think will improve the piece and ignored the rest. Once I've revised it, that too will go to TPN before submission.

I've changed the writers link on the right side of this page. It now has a partner and both go to pages maintained by Chuck McKenzie. Check out his site along with many other Australian writers. The second link is to Australian publishing houses - very cool resource. I'll also post both links on the web page.

Still painting the bedroom :(

I hope your writing is going well - keep those submissions going out the door.

Submissions

I've posted off a lot of stuff in the last day or two - and I'm not expecting a single dollar for any of it!

I've posted two assignments off for my diploma.
I've emailed my article to the new publication my course co-ordinator put me onto.
I've put "Grimoire" onto the crit group "to do" list.
I've posted apologises on two different sites because I seem to be annoying individuals.

Lots of stuff going out - nothing new hitting the paper :(

Still lots of reading and reviews to get done. The weather's cold and my back is playing up. Feeling a little down.

Three weeks holidays starting next week - yay - need to paint for at least the first week - boo.

I hate painting.
