September 3, 2010, Hey There, Earl

It's Friday before Labor Day. Ironically, my office closed for Friday as well, so I'm lounging about preparing to get up and at my day, whatever it may bring. Hurricane Earl is coming up the Eastern Seaboard, though at the moment the sun is out at 8:05 AM. It is humid, but unlike last night when the wind was quite whippy, it is still and quiet, with the sound of cicadas humming outside. I'm a bit nudgy today - I feel frustrated that I haven't stuck with my writing. After my big push to submit (and the subsequent rejection), I'm re-reading the MS again, tweaking, again, and then I'm going to be submitting to an agent (I'm thinking Trident Media will be my first target, but I've got Book Cents in my sights, too.). But I've got 4 days for lots of writing, and one real goal is a submission to Rachel Kramer Bussel for her upcoming anthology. I've even got the whole story plotted out. I've got motivation and the perfect fantasy - I'm calling it "Sanctuary". You'll see why! If she doesn't take it, there'll be some other places I'll try. Perhaps EC? Ah, well. I need a cup of tea. The first one went cold. Ta for now!
