“And how’s that work anyway? You’re a bicycle.”

August has been…interesting in a lot of ways. The Clarion West slump is real; or at least it’s real for me. Of course, I really missed being a photographer, so I’ve been concentrating on that for the last few weeks as well as getting ready for a wedding I’m shooting this weekend. There are a lot of things that needed catching up on, errands that needed running, the dog started having appointments for acupuncture, etc. (Yes, the dog gets acupuncture. Also, Prozac. He’s a mutant, but he’s our mutant, and something is clearly working since he’s been a lot better company for the last few weeks.)
I’ve been still writing with Storm, of course, and a lot of my energy has been going towards doing a rewrite pass on Shadows and Silk and getting some stuff out for submission. I’m getting ready to start on the agent hunt, as well. I have one rewrite of a CW story that is taking shape in my head, as well.
I am also looking for a day job in between there; this economy is a bit nutty, but I have mad skillz. (I do tech stuff as my day job; I make content sit, stay, roll over, and sing for its supper.) I have three stories currently out for consideration, one of which I should hear back on any day now.
My goal right now is to start something new on September 1st. Which means I need to get this edit pass mostly done by then. Which means I should get back to work instead of writing any more blog entries. :)
