jana_denardoIt was a zero writing week. I spent most of it editing so I guess in a way that is writing. My story Coulrophobia will be on Dreamspinner Press's blog on the 29th and I just posted a free Halloween story tonight as well, Cabin in the Woods. Enjoy both freebies!
As I suspected Cassadaga Nights did not get picked up for Simmer. Unsurprising since it was cut in half to even attempt to make word count. I'm not sad about it. I am looking for a few beta readers for it right now so I can send it out as a novella. I'm thinking Wayward Ink or maybe one or two others to start with. I think it will get picked up and I might ask if they would be willing to include those recipes anyhow. I'm not really disappointed in any way about this. I was pretty sure it would happen.
Other than that it's been a grueling, depressing week before funeral memorials, bad crap at work (both writing and at the EDJ) and lastly I missed out on hearing Neil Gaiman after being forgotten by the group I was going with. I'm trying to be 'over' that so that's all I want to say there.
I'm trying to get one more chapter done of Blood Red before I move on to my nano novel. Wish me luck.

I've got my fingers crossed that when I get home from my trip and stumble online all groggy and jetlagged you'll already be flying along with Nano :D

Have a wonderful trip and I hope I am too!
