Friday Fun with Megan!

I wasn't sure what the heck to write about today. I mean, I could post hot guys, but that's what tomorrow is for (make sure you vote for the hottie of the first half of the year). I could post something funny, like a video. Could even entertain you with a video clip of a song that's stuck in my head. Then there's always my abudantly exciting typing skills. Turns out I can't type the word the right on the first try. Shrug. It's a gift.

But then the thought struck me, or rather I was talking to Kealie and she struck me--either works. I happened to be complaining that I didn't have a clue as to what I was going to blog about.

"Why don't you blog about how you and I aren't even in the same state and yet we're chatting like we're in the same room? And then add that you and DH ARE in the same room and are chatting because it's easier?"

You make me sound so boring and lazy...

But really, yeah, Kealie and I are in two totally different states on opposite ends of the country and yet we can chat and it's like we're in the same room. Then again, we end each other's sentences and know what the other is thinking so that's got to be even scarier.

So honestly, I had nothing exciting to talk about other than I'm glad there's chat. Otherwise I'd have to really ship the brain Kealie and I share back and forth instead of talking on the computer. Really thrilling I know. But then again, I'm procrastinating so it happens.

Now I'm off to conquer a WIP. Ta!

So...It's Friday and I'm Chatting!!

I wasn't sure what to Blog about today, but hey, I thought, yanno, sometimes the MA peeps don't mosey over to my blog, so this is over there, too. Read on!

Fire Woman got a release date: September 23rd. I am stoked. Yes, I am. And wow, do things happen fast. But it's so good. I mean, it's exciting to know I've got something that will be published and not just on my site.

I did have a story that was kicked back, but yanno...I was, yes, I was upset about it initially. It was one of those not the right fit, thanks but no thanks rejections. Now, although I was bummed, it wasn't because I was angry. Far from it. In fact, I'm going to sub to this press in the future. Absolutely. What I struggled with was the lack of comments. What do I fix? What do I improve upon? Was there any of the story that was good? Now, before you get up in arms, cuz like I said, I was irked at first, look at it this way: presses are taking the work. They are offering the chance. If they don't want to work...then they don't have to. And it's ok. Why? Because they want what's ready, NOW. So mine wasn't ready now. Doesn't mean I should hate the press or get really pissed. Nope. It means I need to up my game and make sure the next sub is even tighter. It's a challenge and I love a challenge.

Speaking of challenges, the one I got from my friend, the 10k in 14 days. I did it. I won. Doesn't mean the book will be accepted. Heck, it could find the same fate as the above book. Happens. But, ah, you see, I have this plan. What one doesn't like/want, might be exactly what another might want/like. Happens all the time. So as much as I'm chewing my nails down in anticipation and am more than a little down about the above book, I know that it's not the total end. Faith. I've got some.

I was given another challenge. I know, right, lots of challenges...do these people ever sleep? Apparently not. But that's beside the point. So I was given the second challenge. 7k by Sept 23rd. I don't want to say easy peasy, cuz if the story doesn't flow, that 7k can be darned hard. But again, I don't back down. (yes, Tom Petty is so playing in my head). And I'm working on a shorty short for the Encounters line at Changeling.

I'm busier than heck, but I love it.

Check out my chat on Whipped Cream this weekend. Should be a blast. I'm up with Mysti at 6 pm on Sunday...unless the hurricane takes Mysti away. Let's hope it doesn't. See ya then!
