Reason for stopping: DONE!
Sustenance: coconut ginger noodles
Tyop: He wept as he skinned the last world.
Darling: Not the wrathful witch, nor the wild wolf, but the girl he fell in love with. Though he sees them all in the darkness of her eyes.
Deaths: none more, amazingly.
Mean things: guilt, fever, passing out, blushing, continuing namelessness

New story! Hurrah! I really like this one, too, though I have no idea what it's about. Maybe, "Don't shoot grandmothers", or "If you're pure of heart, your girlfriend might not eat you."

Tomorrow I will reread this to find lurking suck, and then post it on the 'shop.

(no subject)

The Unwelcome Wolves are posted to the shop. They turned out a lot happier than I expected. Perhaps now I can go back to the novel.

A call to arms

From ccfinlay:

"My next plan is to test the women-can't-sell-to-F&SF idea. You know how a certain group of folks bombard Strange Horizons with subs on April 1st? Let's shoot for 100 subs by women writers to F&SF in a single day. Sarah Prineas should send in two. (And if they're in "The Red Cross Knight" vein, maybe three.) Bear? Chance? Sandra? Karin? Any of you in? The 19th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified on August 18th. That could be the mail-in date. If all of you are selling to other magazines or selling novels and none of you sell there, you'll have convinced me."

So if you write, and self-identify as female, join us in bombing the Patriarchy F&SF on August 18th.

Attack wombs at the ready!

Rolling, rolling, rolling

Today I:

*tweaked and posted the Unwelcome Wolves.

*realized the Wolves are broken.

*did not figure out how to fix them.

*revised chapters 2 & 3 of Prayers, and sent them to beta-readers.

*received critses from the loffly mekkavandexter

*pondered those critses until my head exploded in a shower of grey matter and words.

*did not figure out what to do with the opening of Dreams.

*ate vindaloo. Mmm, vindaloo.

Prayers does not hate me right now, but Dreams has summoned a plague of demons of suck and doubt. I am not happy with the beginning, but I don't know what to do about it. Possibly pay someone else to fix it. Feel free to submit bids.
