actual post of writing content!
Mar. 10th, 2005 03:45 pmHad an excellent CGAG last night, wherein much extremely good commentary was exchanged, and I'm reminded again why a good writers group is a thing of beauty -- they managed to find the weak points and give me excellent inspiration on how to fix them, and apparently at least one other member had inspiration likewise. Plus, chocolate, because one of the members had a sale!
(CGAG rule #3: if you make a sale, you must bring chocolate. When we long-ago met on Sunday mornings, it was flavored cream cheese for the bagels).
So, today I've been working with said inspiration, fixing and fiddling and generally feeling outrageously productive. Which is good, as I got the usual turnaround from F&SF, making me wonder why I even bother as Gordon and I are clearly not on the same wavelength. Ah well. The story is a good and interesting one, and it will find a home eventually.
On the plus side, was informed this afternoon that the Retrievers books will be part of a reading group initiative via Harlequin later on this year. Means a bit of work for me, to prep for it, but it's work I'm happy to do.
Oh, and Retrievers3 is perking along as well, with the plotlines twining around each other like a well-trained trellis rose. Good book. Have a biscuit.

You are a writer of dark fics, which are a bit melodramatic
S/he is a complete angst whore.
