Bleh....

Well -- today was a total bust when it came to writing. I had hopes that with my hubby gone I would have *lots* of spare time. Instead...my daughter's soccer game ran late and the boys have been hellions (to put it mildly!) In other words, s-t-r-e-s-s city! Hubby has promised to be back as early as possible tomorrow, perhaps noon (okay, I know him too well, if he gets here before 6 pm, I'll be surprised!).

So, I decided to just do writing "related" stuff today. I played solitaire (snicker)...proofread a story for Dark Eden Press, submitted a story, *thought* about updating my website, surfed the internet...and discovered Duotrope's Digest. It's a publication resource with TONS of information. It has submission guidelines, a publication search engine to find new and exciting publishers, actual response times -- and percentages if there's enough data, and a cool submissions tracker. So, I entered all of my 2006-2007 submissions (short stories and novellas). You can find this nifty resource at: http://www.duotrope.com/index.aspx

Tomorrow is update the website day (and boy, does it need it) and try to get in a few words --

And, I have claimed Monday as a writing day...

Le sigh...

So I'm at 10464, a big whopping 154 words since I checked in last. Le sigh. That's all I can say. I need a change of scenery but since California is burning to the ground and I'm asthmatic going outside is not the best of ideas. I'll check in either tonight or tomrrow morning and hopefully my news will be better. :( Yes. I know I suck and not in that magically delicious way.
