Of lemurs and train rides that are too short

This moment of pimpage brought to you by lemurs on a dirigible: SFRevu has a review of Shimmer's Clockwork Jungle Book issue, which describes it as a "flawless issue" and calls my story "A Red One Cannot See" a "touching tale."

Moving onto the writing front...

I haven't gotten very far on the novel rewrite this week.  My train ride to and from work is just too dang short.  When I'm writing, particularly if it's the revision stage, I often feel like I need to wind up for a bit before I hit that point where the momentum kicks in and I can really move forward. Unfortunately, that wind up time currently seems to be about the length of my commute. Grrr!

I had some other writing thoughts I was going to babble about, but I think I'll save those for another post as my brain hurts and it's dinner-making time.

Woohooo review!!!

The brain-hurty thing seems to be an epidemic lately. That and ass-hurty from too many hours in a chair!

Woohoo sparkles! Well, as long as the sparkles aren't on vampires, that is. :)

In an ideal world, I'd be able to get my ass out of bed early enough to do some writing before I head out the door. But alas, the pull unconsciousness is strong with this one. I'm lucky if I can get to work on time let alone do anything else. Stupid sleepy brain.

Oh well. It may not be an ideal world, but at least there are popsicles.
