Fun with Sign Language
Well, not this time, not really. More like phone language. Specifically, auto-correct.
You will laugh.

Are You a Geek Who Likes Robots and Live Performances???
My friend Pam Noles, mistress of And We Shall March, is sooooo freakin' awesome. Pam is a former cop reporter and graduate of the Clarion Writer's Workshop. She lives and writes in be-yoo-ti-ful Los Angeles.And she's continuing in that streak of awesomeness with a new project.
If you're a geek, or someone who likes storytelling, or someone who likes live theater or comedy, Pam has got something for you. Yes, you!
Drum roll, please....
! Death 40-Feet Tall ! is a one-hour live storytelling show about two best friends, giant robots and the quest to become your own Prime. It's a storytelling show, not a showcase, about one hour long and family friendly! Please visit the project page on Kickstarter for full details.
Also, stop by Pam's blog for all things geek. Tell her I said, 'Hey!'

A Novel Idea - the Life of a Chapter IV
This will be ugly. In the last Life of a Chapter, I warned you that it would be ugly. No hyperbole. No belle of the ball is Chapter 8 right now. No tall drink of water. No foxy momma.
But when is editing and revision ever pretty, sterile or neat?
Never.
So. Don't be scuurred. I'm not anymore, now that it's all on page.
Here we go:
Page 1
Page 2
Page 3
Page 4
Page 5
Page 6
Page 7
Page 8
It WILL get better. Oh, yes it will. Because I've completed all these messy revisions and the chapter's clean... For now. But before I dirty it all up again, I will post them and I will bask in their cleanliness and ignore typos and still-clunky sentences and continuity lapses.
There is a light at the end of this tunnel.
Hopefully, it's not a train.

Another Great Review for The View from Here
Syria, mistress of SyriaSays, one of the funniest blog/book review sites on the interwebs, just posted her review of The View from Here:
Storyline: Rachel, I don't know HOWzell you did it! But, somehow you took a potentially depressing premise and made it both very entertaining and enjoyable.
And she says much, much more. Good stuff. Good, good stuff that made my tired heart SWELL.
Please pop on over to SyriaSays to read the rest of the review as well as other reviews and interviews (she also interviewed me). I'm a lucky gal.
