Flurry of Activity

This was supposed to be my lay-low week. It hasn't been that at all. I cannot begin to describe how nearly every second of my week (so far) has been filled with new story ideas. So much that I think I went through half a pad of Post-It notes. I also discover a handful of new literary journals to submit to. Now all I have to do is connect the dots from those notes to those journals and BAM--the next additions to the portfolio.

Of course, I don't want to rush anything. I want the ideas to simmer a little while before jumping into the world of brand new characters. That, and I have a friend's birthday this weekend which means I have to keep myself on task so I can go and have a little fun. And maybe find a few new story ideas at the bar. Bars are filled with some of the best kooky sidekick characters. I should know. I tend to be one.

Calmer Waters

Trying to find the best outlet for my frustrations, and dreaming seems to work the best. I don't spend any more time in bed than I did before, but I make sure to get enough vitamins and such (a can of V8 works great) to enhance my memory of my dreams. At least I got a few new story ideas out of it. Working on those stories (and the fact that my computer is functional again) has let me stay calm when all of these new and unnecessary obstacles seem to pop up. Long story short--I'm dealing a little better. :)

Okay, on to the business side of things. I've got a new deal for all of my readers. Check it out:




 And as always, I'll put this up on my Hot Deals! tab as well.
