Post Vaca Let Down
Mar. 10th, 2009 01:25 pmI'm now back in town, and will be going to see Watchmen with H in a little while.
I did not get as much writing done as I wanted to over the weekend. For starters, I sent my most recent story to four friends to take a look at it. Not a single one of them managed to get back to me on it in over a week. So I had no real feedback to work with, and therefore no impetus for change.
Tried to start a second story for the same publication. Zombies, this time. So far, it's trite and reads like Tom Savini will be making an appearance any second. Not sure what I'm going to do about that, work on it, I guess.
Tomorrow I'm back to work for four straight days, then Sunday off for grocery shopping and cartoons, then 2 more days of work. So I won't get a day off until next Wednesday, which is a bummer since I'm under 3 different writing deadlines right now. I'm trying to write 2 short stories for an anthology I'm trying to get into. One for a magazine, and the other is my novel deadline. I felt like I had all kinds of time in December, now it's the middle of March. Plus I'm still supposed to be doing publicity things and I have no good ideas.
