Dear Diary . . . day by day

Monday, October 1st, 2001 - A few things

So, a couple of things I've forgotten to mention in my last entry. One is that I am now a proud member of the Web Rats. This is an invite-only webring of writers, and I'm honored to have been asked to join.
The second thing is that Tim sold a story, "Annabelle's Alphabet" to Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet, a very prestigious publication indeed! The story is one of Tim's rather literary ones, and I was impressed with it. I've been told that Tim should take his writing more seriously, that he could write some more impressive things if he'd just put his mind to it, and, back when I'd only read a few of his stories, I probably agreed with this assessment. But now I'm beginning to realize that Tim's got more versatility in his writing style than most of us, and that he sure as hell can do literary well when he puts his mind to it.
However, I suspect that he likes writing his fun, cool, action stories more.
Other than that, not too much to report, really. Tim and I had a good weekend together, even if yesterday was the slowest, hottest, Sunday-est Sunday we've had in awhile.

Exercise log:
Yes. Today. Really.
Writing log:
Forgot to mention two things:
I sent out "The Ever After Book Shoppe", the collab I wrote with Tim, to the Dreamhaven's Anthology.
I was invited to join the Web Rats webring of writers!
Current Publications:
San Francisco City Guide at EGrad.com. Written by me, edited by someone else.
I'm currently reading:
Earthquake Weather by Tim Powers
The Strange Adventures of Rangergirl by Tim Pratt
Okay, so I'm just reading the very rough first draft of the chapters fresh off the 'puter, but damn, it's already good!
