valarltd | a modestly productive day

One of these days, it's going to quit feeling like I stepped off a cliff when I send a story off to a publisher.

Maybe.

I heard from Phaze on "Collared Hearts." They want us to expand it to novella length (13-40K) and have it come out in the summer.
Here's hoping they like "Burning for Eight Days" as well.

Minute marker 44 on the "Intramural" episode of Sleeper Cell looks like "Trick my truck, Jihad edition."

If I put in 15 minutes on every story I'm working on, that's 2 hours of solid writing. And that's NOT counting the fanfic I owe.

Chocolate Power Tools
Gemini Paradox
Glad Hands
Paying Forfeits
Niko-Chan
Nick and Corban
Nicholas Boyd
Peregrine off High Barbary
(I always hear the chorus of the sea chanty when I type that: "Off along the coast of hiiiiiiigh bar-bar-ee!")

And a bit of an Advent Calendar of my own. Christmas Song a Day. No Jingling bells or Rum pa pum pummelling here.

On an extremely silly note:
I have come to the conclusion I need a wookiee plushie.
I have a plushie Captain Jack Sparrow that rides the dashboard of the Falcon.
But a wookiee in the ~~co-pilot~~ passenger seat would be just perfect.
