- Mon, 17:57: ...so, technically, every single short I write starring Ben or Alex is a side quest. This week's @WritingExcuses awesomely apropos.
- Mon, 17:58: It is entirely possible that I have more words in side quests than I have in the actual novel. #whoops
- Mon, 18:03: Just did math. 98,000 words in the novel. 89,100 words in shorts/novelettes. The next one may put me over.
- Mon, 19:15: RT @IMAO_: "You should learn to defend yourself." "No. I'm going to teach everyone in the world not to attack me." "Yeah, that sounds easie…
- Mon, 22:38: ...Word knows "malarkey." It even has synonyms. I am amused by this.

- Tue, 11:27: Woke up with another piece of my plot puzzle in place, and I know what needs to happen in this next scene. Now we're cookin'!
- Tue, 11:48: ...this may be bigger than an 8000-word story. ARGH. I have a lot of chess pieces on the board and need them ALL.
- Tue, 11:54: Well. I won't know what I have until I get this first draft in the can, will I? I've outlined to the resolution; let's see where it goes.
Jun. 10th, 2014
The story for the Baen Adventure Fantasy contest. Deadline: June 30. This one is making me crazy. It'll be great if I can get it under control, but I'm terribly afraid it's bigger than 8000 words.
Edits on the Tattoo story for subbing to the Athena's Daughters antho. Deadline: June 30. This one, at least, will be relatively easy to fix. I think.
Collaborative project with roleplay partner. We hashed out the plot at MisCon after independently coming to the conclusion that our first effort, while amusing to us, doesn't actually work as a story. But it's going to be awesome now that we have actual Conflict.
Expanding Angry Bitter Angel into a novel. No deadline on that one. I'm 30K into it.
Editing the New Ben & Janni novel so that it makes actual sense and isn't sheer Ben-whumpage. No deadline on that one either, but it's 144K and should probably be expanded and made into two books.
The story for the I Am the Abyss antho. I don't even have Concept for this one yet, and it needs to be pretty extensive. Deadline: Oct. 1.
Something for Blurring the Line. Again, I don't even have an idea for this one yet. Deadline: Oct. 31.
Gaaaaaah. I must be insane.
