Joining in the cheers for cookie goodness, and nice to meet you!

My Nano-ing went quite well this year – I finished my Nano down in San Francisco, at the Night of Writing Dangerously, and wrote another 20,000 words on short stories and other projects in the rest of the month, for a grand total of 70k! Whoo-hoo.

December projects include getting short stories critiqued so I can do revisions for my Clairion/Odyssey portfolios, reading and feedbacking on some other people’s writing, starting a new weekly serial story on my blog, and submitting 2 stories for publication.

Wish me luck!

Lydia – Ooh, good luck with the med journal submissions! Hey, writing is writing

Angela – Nope, that refresh button is a writer’s best friend…

Susan – Good luck with the queries! I imagine you’re friends with the refresh button these days as well…

Kittie – I’m sure it will! It’s Christmas, wonderful things happen unexpectedly all the time

Jessica – Ooh, congrats on your progress and good luck with finishing! You can do it! Come back and let me know how it’s going!

Su – It’s always nice to have options one way or the other! Writing is writing, and while journals may not be the most thrilling (but sometimes they are!), any pub credit is a nice thing to have

Alison – Sounds like you have your work cut out for you! I’ll keep an eye out for that post!

Misha – Ugh, NaNo and school is a nightmare for disaster… I didn’t even attempt NaNo when I was in uni, so my congrats to you for even trying! But, umm, 100k in 24 days?! I’d say “you can do it!” but I’m concerned about your wrists and possibly your sanity as well… haha…

Failed miserably at NaNo due to it happening at the same time as my exams.

Now I have to write more or less 100k words in 24 days…

My blog related December goal is to put together a huge, multi-post year-end wrap up. It’s a lot of work (lots of writing), but I think it’s going to be fun.

Yay, a cookie!

I have plans for my holiday, including revisions on some essays for undergrad journals. If I can’t get published one way, I’ll just go another.

Here’s a 99th!

My December goal is to finish my current WiP. A big goal, but I think it’s possible! And it’ll be exciting since it’ll be my first finished draft EVER. And it’ll be the first thing I submit ever, too well, fiction wise at least! Good luck to you.

I’ve queried a few agents, so I’m just waiting around these days. Thanks for the cookie! It was yummy!

You mean I’m not the only one who checks my mailbox obsessively. Good to know.

I’ve submitted a few things to medical journals (nonfiction) so I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
Hey, thanks for the cookie. Yum.
