Okay, there have been recent events. Moving, being back in college, my brother being hit, my brother dying, losing my job, issues with three different writers' groups, having a major falling-out-misunderstanding with another group that I've decided to try to join, seasonal migraines, and even unexplained illness. All of this combined pretty much killed my inspiration for awhile. This month, things are going forward.

My moving day has been moved from Thanksgiving, to mid-October, to early October to late September to tomorrow (today?)

Incommunicado until I get things settled, shouldn't take more than a day or so.

My baby brother died tonight.

I'd like to know what people think about the idea...
... of me going back and giving each Episode of Sk8r Grrls a 'Subtitle' of sorts. This would, of course, continue with new Episodes.

I dunno if I have style, but I definitely have class, starting today! Even so, I managed to write an entire 22,000 word short story over the weekend... then realized I'd never gotten around to Sk8r Grrls 17

Took a week off for my birthday!

Just thought it'd be better to let you all know that :)

I came to Kansas City Monday morning early, and I'm not heading home until late Sunday night, spent this week here with a friend so I could unlax (unwind+relax) leading up to my birthday -- which is today :)

I'm 32 today... :(

But I just convert it to metric and I'm 4 months shy of my 27th birthday ;)

I'll post it sometime tomorrow (Thursday, 2 August 2007), so don't despair that I've given up on the story -- that's not very likely ^.^

I realized late last night that I'm hitting another gully in the cycle of depression and recovery. I have the stories running around in my head, but can't find the enthusiasm to write them down. I want to just lie in bed and cry for hours

I guess I just feel myself slipping away, bit by bit. I'm losing weight, but not fast enough. I'm writing, but my head continues to fill to overmuch. There's a possibility of new romance on the horizon, but am I just fooling myself?

Since waking up from a nap on Friday evening around 9pm (Central US time), I've not slept much

1 hour Saturday afternoon

2 hours Sunday evening

3 hours Monday afternoon

So. I'm going to bed now (4am Tuesday morning) and sleeping until I wake up. Then I'll write Sk8r Grrls for this week. If it's not done in time... sorry. I'm unashamedly unabashed about missing this deadline. Not that I don't care about how awesome you've all been... I'm just too damn tired to give more than passing thought to it

Update!

The details in my last blog (http://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/blog-entry/3604/fts-ending-jul...) are almost right. The only difference is the name of the room if you're using an IRC client. It should be #TG_Fiction_Authors

Okay! Hope to see lots of you there at 7:30pm Central (US)

So, that IRC session I mentioned, for the Q&A? I'd like to schedule it for sometime tomorrow (July 11) evening :)

The IRC I've been frequenting apparently has a separate room for author chats, anyway, so that'll be good

irc.tgsa.net port 6667
and it's apparently the one that you get to through Storysite
Um... time and room is the only things not set -- and the room may be

Suggestions?

Already linked to the first comic of each archive :)

I'm not a fan of forced fem stories. If it's not voluntary, making someone do something that will put them in danger -- either at the time or later on -- is wrong and would be construed as child abuse in most of the cases in which they do this. I guess I see them as way too formulaic. There's also the fact that I was severely abused as a child... from about age 6 months to around age 15 when I finally stood up and stopped taking it

I was constantly beating the odds of bad things happening, in my first 20 years. So much so, that I had the reputation of being the clumsiest person in town. When I was in high school, there was a contest in the town newspaper that described some of my injuries and the circumstances that led to them. The first 50 correct responders to the newspaper office would receive a coupon good for a free sandwich from a local fast food place. All 50 coupons were claimed before an hour had passed from the time the papers hit the shelves/streets
