"How's it going to be when it goes down?"
I'm halfway through chapter 13 now. One "off" 1st person narrative down, two more to go...I think. I think the transition paragraphs might star getting old, interrupting the story and all, but how else to do this? Eff it. I'll worry about it in editing.
I also have to have a new short story in the works by Sunday. YIPES!
On the plus side, The Promethean picked up another piece (according to my friend), which would make this year record with two pieces instead of one. Apparently the editors only liked "Atara-Orn" for the writing style, as no one but my friend has an appreciation for fantasy. But I suppose this is what happens when the entire editing staff is made up of poets, and indie-art fans. Fantasy? What is that? People at this school read that? Lord of the Rings was too long. *whine*
*Sigh* But it got picked up on the argument that, YES, people do INDEED read fantasy. Hopefully, that wasn't the only reason, but it got picked up, and I refuse to grouse about it.
Now to the new story. I think I want to pull an Uncle Silas...
