Also from Circalit, an open call for their short story anthology: "Circalit has announced the publication of a short story anthology for Autumn 2012.

Glad you're back. How was the quilt show?
ReplyDeleteI'm working on a serial, posting an installment on my blog every week or so. I'm trying to just free-form write the plot, no planning, no outline. The first "chapter" was from the guy's perspective, the second from the woman's. I don't have a clue where the story is going, but that's the fun of it. In theory.
The quilt show was small but fabulous, and a much-needed mini-vacation for me. :)
DeleteI imagine organic serial writing is a great way to sharpen your skills at being creative on the spot. I wrote one story live online in a chat room once (I did think it through before I began the session, so I can't say I was being entirely organic) and that challenged me on multiple levels.
Your giveaways inspired me to get the sewing machine out on the weekend. I made a great cat tote bag.
ReplyDeleteOh, how cool. I love infecting others with sewing. :) Is there a new magical cats book to go into the tote bag (not that I'm hinting....)?
DeleteI'm just glad you're back. How long did it take for the IDTs to set in? Usually for me, it's about an hour. Then I fidget for an hour or so hoping the internet will come back, then I go find something else to do and I'm fine.
ReplyDeleteSo, what did YOU do with your time? ;o)
Let's see, I cleaned the house, made a cuddle quilt for Skye and caught up on my 1K cards project. It was a slow day. ;)
