In Which I Forget How to Write

I've moved house which means I've had two weeks without any internet access. I, unlike most writers, can't write without the constant allure of the internet. First day back today, and it feels like I've forgotten how to write.

Boy, I go flabby real quickly. It'll come back, no doubt.

August news has been good. I had a story accepted by Edge of Sundown, the Western horror anthology from Chaosium, and Cosmos will be reprinting my story, 'Looking Good' in an i-pad version of Cosmos. Add to that a poetry sale to Sorcerous Signals and it adds up to a nice month. Especially compared to last August when I didn't sell a bean.

How's your August been?

  2. Glad you're back online. I feel like I've lost a limb without it, too.

    Congrats on those successes - some impressive sales there.

  3. My august has been quiet. I have been waiting forever to get rejections from several markets and didn't get a peep during the month. I mean, I had several stories out there, I would have figured at least one of them would have responded long before now.

  8. Congrats on the awesome month! My August was doing well, until school started, piled on top of dance and work. Now I'm unbelievably tired. Hope you get back into the swing of things soon. :)

  9. Congrats on your acceptances, Deborah. You'll get back into the writing mode again. I've already moved twice this year and have one more time to go (ugh, remodel), hence my absence on the net too!
    Best of luck-
