And I'm not quitting or facing a block - I just don't feel ready to tell that particular tale.<BR/><BR/>kerry - I'm not taking a break from writing, just that project. Now I'm focusing on getting more short stories in circulation.<BR/><BR/>fatty - okay then, stick with modeling lingerie.<BR/><BR/>melissa - thanks. I am brilliant. :p<BR/><BR/>joe - actually, I think my fiction is far better than my blog posts. I try to keep the blogging as brief as possible, and it's something I just casually toss out with no real effort.<BR/><BR/>kira - it will be what it will be - I'm not trying to be deliberately funny or scary. Although the two emotions can conflict, I think one can heighten the other if they're not fed to you simultaneously.<BR/><BR/>saur♥kraut - I've read HHG, which is great. But even with it and other funny sci-fi series out there, many sci-fi editors are reluctant to touch anything they don't consider serious. Some of the most widely circulated magazines have very strict rules about submissions - "Absolutely no humor will be accepted." Ironically, sci-fi and fantasy editors tend to be the most rule-bound.<BR/><BR/>blondie - keep it up and you'll probably catch me before long.<BR/><BR/>krisbtterfly - thanks, but I'm happy with just Google blogger. I barely have time for it, so I'm not branching into other online communities.Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08040058320473775641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510429.post-1151673690417656642006-06-30T09:21:00.000-04:002006-06-30T09:21:00.000-04:00Wow... 900 already eh?

I've working on the script for Sakura Dorei, it's coming along nicely now that I have a general form.

And when I go, you'll probably hear about it.

Hmmmm... ;) <BR/><BR/>While writing my second book, I find that I get into these little lulls that sometimes discourage me. I put the manuscript up on the shelf so to speak, and wait for a rush of inspiration. Busyness and life in general will do it to ya, but a nice hot cup of black coffee or espresso will help you increase 'thought'. Years and years ago they used espresso for writers and editors to give them a little boost for the brain. <BR/><BR/>I know you're all into that green tea and J-food stuff, but remember, a little ole' cup of Joe could do the trick! <BR/><BR/>And yes. You are right. You are unique! ;) <BR/><BR/>Regards, <BR/>Giant Atomic Chicken Corporation, CEODebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14986475569600734742noreply@blogger.com
