having actually managed to accomplish...oh, about half of what she should have done, but more than was done this mroning. So...yay?

Other stuff that happened today:

I guess the response for STAYING DEAD at Audible.com was good, because they've requested the entire series (2-6) for their lineup. If I were less tired I'd be doing happy author chair dance [sub-rights modification].

Of course, I have no idea what "good response" is to Audible, so it's a modified modified chair dance I'd be doing. Still. It's always nice to get positive feedback.

Also have been invited to an anthology -- and the story is due in August. I should be able to manage that no problem, right? It's not like I have anything else going on.... *facepalms*



Oh, and speaking of Other Things Going on -- if you're tired of "R@ceF@il" and want to see "R@ceWin?" Check out Scalzi's Whatever -- http://whatever.scalzi.com/2009/03/12/mary-ann-mohanraj-gets-you-up-to-speed-part-i/ So far, interesting, even-handed, and un-Troll-infested. Long may it continue so.

And now I need some dinner, and a glass of wine, and some feline appeasement....

Congratulations...

That takes some practice. When I'm awake, I just jot down notes. When I wake up in the middle of the night with a story in my head -- which happened earlier this week -- I have to work on stomping it in place so I can write it when I get up in the morning. I've gotten fairly good at it, though that took a lot of practice.

Second the recommendation on Scalzi's thread.

And it's funny, I'm having a very similar reaction to an anthology invite for 8/1. Sounds like a fun theme, but a part of me is yelling "What were you thinking saying yes, dude?"

And congrats on the Audible deal!

Heh. I thought that was you.

I've been very interested in that whole thing, and I'm extremely impressed with Mary Anne Mohanraj. I keep thinking I have things I want to post, and then somebody else has already said them better. *sigh*

(But you know, I keep thinking, what would have happened had Greg Feeley been in on the original discussion...? *RLH*)
