Umm... I Guess I Should've Introduced Myself?
If you were wondering who I am, I'm macaroni_thief over at Forward Motion.

Right. So, this is my writing journal. As you can see it's new and shiny. My LJ friends over at my other journal who are mostly non-writers got tired of me blabbing about my writing constantly. Who better to irritate with writing angst than other writers?

My current projects...er, project, is my 2YN now hesitantly dubbed Necromancer Syndrome. I say hesitantly because titles are the devil. I can never come up with ones that are half-decent. I'm in the rewriting phase, eagerly looking forward to the editing phase, and the get-it-out-the-door phase.

Seeing as this is only my second book, I have high hopes for it. I've never edited something so large before (as my first novel is languishing in all it's 669 page not-so-glorious glory in my desk, propping up some other not-so-important documents).

I have my first submission ever, "To Reign in Purgatory," floating in round three at Andromeda. Before that I gathered my first rejections from a few biggie mags. YAY!

I also need to edit a short I wrote at 4am because Justin's exercises are eeeevil and they give you tenacious plot bunnies. Not quite sure what to do with it, so I'm holding off on the editing thing.

Let's see...OH! Sticky the stick figure. Right. A while ago I wrote a Top List of Things to do Before I Get Too Old To Remember My Name. In it was "Create a comic reel and have a fan base of at least three." Thus, the stick figure was born. I will have to rescan the drawings before I can post them.

So...yeah. Welcome!

I know what you mean about editing. I'm working on my 2005 nano, and while it's fun, I haven't even scratched the surface of the hard part. I'm just noting things at this point -- not fixing them.

I haven't tried Justin's exercises yet. I've heard others talk about how they breed plot bunnies, and at the moment, I have enough of those!

Hee hee, I heart Sticky.
Strangely, our jazz teacher DID look like a stick figure...
And Jeff Goldblum.
