Sunday Small Talk

Sadly the cover of Soldiers of the Sun didn't make it into the final rounds of the Rainbow awards cover contest. Doesn't matter. I still love it and the competition is insanely stiff. So many beautiful covers.

On the flip side my nanoing is going SO well. I'm over 30K in under two weeks. This has been so good for me this month. I feel like I'm writing like I should without ignoring the other things I need to do too much.

We went to the Tea Caddy in town for our write in and it was such a nice experience. It was nice to have a peaceful moment after the turmoil world wide this week.

I have news about Blood Red Roulette in that I finished it but I've been meaning to do a post about that since I finished on Wednesday but time keeps escaping me. I will do it because it deserves its own post.

And in understandable but slightly frustrating news, Dreamspinner moved up the deadline for the shifter daily dose stories. I definitely understand the need to give the editors more time but I have nothing for it now. I will try though because I had a story in mind so I'm working on it in tandem with my nano, Behind Blue Eyes (which so desperately needs a better title). I want to revisit a place and people that meant so much to me twenty years ago (holy crap HOW did that happen?).

I might do a holiday short story freebie but working on that shifter story will have to take precedence.

I need more hours in a day.

I got nothing for a bear shape shifter in a city I don't know. Is this the weird west thing or something else?

[jana-denardo.livejournal.com]

something else. it's for the shifter anthology

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I still have nothing.

how about just anything for a bear shifter and you've read like a dozen deadwood stories at this point

Okay, why might he need to be using his magic? Is there a problem he might be able to solve? Is it a curse, like the vloklak werewolves, who remained wolves for 7 years and then changed back if they hadn't killed/harmed any people? Is his boyfriend magical as well or a norm? Are they happily married or just getting together?

his boyfriend is normal. They just met. I suspect someone is hunting the bear for his skin the bear is in SD for the harley rally

In other words, a Slayer-type? or just someone who hears there's a bear and wants it dead?

[jana-denardo.livejournal.com]

Slayer type. He knows what he's after

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm.
