I love how she's surrounded by people (her mom, Philomena, Steph) who keep her general bad-assery from going to her head. Will be looking at expanding Abigail, Harriet, Steph and Philomena's stories, and maybe a bit of Sara's. (Which, alas, might mean having to switch narrators, or switch to omniscient for non-Whitney sections.)
I'll be in my bunk.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Because books.
Anyone who feels like writing the shortest short story ever should check this out. You can enter on Twitter or on the blog (and thus have an extra eight characters).

I signed up! And I'm doing something totally new, a middle grade novel. Got 1200+ words done yesterday, which was more or less the goal. Now to do that for ... the next 29 days.

I signed up. I'm reworking a short vampire fantasy story I started ~13 years ago and, hopefully, turning it into a novel. I was surprised by how interesting it was when I discovered it in an archive of stuff Greg had saved for me when we first got married. So far, I've done 1600 words a day, but that will probably slow down when I get out of the previously plotted territory.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Yay, Deena! It's good to hear you're writing again.
I should probably take NaNoWriMo to start working on my WIP again. It's been a few months since I touched it. I still wish NaNoWriMo was not in November.

I'm not signed up, but I'll be working on Cog and the Copper Dragon and maybe on revising Cog if I get edits back. However, my NYC-based agent has more important things to worry about at the moment.

I'm on there as Lori Reads, to link to my book review website, also because the book is GLBT friendly and the only recent pub I have is a lesbian short story.
What is everyone else on there as?
edit to make with the sense...

November may more be my "catch up on beta reading" month. I haven't forgotten you Gar, I've really been that busy.
