Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Thanks Amy. I find it so hard to carve out time to write, but I suspect that is just an excuse. But it's nice to feel excited about a piece for once.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That's awesome!

Yesterday I took a flash fiction workshop with Cat Rambo and then wrote a piece of flash inspired by one of the writing prompts. I've also got two flash pieces and one story to revise and submit by the end of this month.

And today grading must take my attention away from writing. Argh!

I realized that a flash piece I wrote in February would be perfect for the current Penumbra theme if I can make it not terrible. Another flash piece I wrote in February was workshopped in my writing workshop, and people found it pretty funny, so I need to polish it a bit. And I'm submitting a story to an anthology about genius loci, and that one's looking pretty solid after another revision or so.

Thanks, Sox! Also I have four pieces currently out and am impatiently waiting for the rejections so I can send them back out again.
