Ugh...

Yesterday was not the greatest of days, which is kinda funny considering I had the Holy Grail of Substituting Experiences: Video Day.

Remember how great it was when the sub pulled out the TV or the film projector? Imagine how the sub felt. No work? Just sit here and take attendance and get a full day's pay? Rock the fuck on.

And then when I get home I find I pretty much worked for free because of stupid banking polices. Grumble, grumble, grumble.

And this morning? Sick. Like... ugh-sick. Pick...

Got called in to sub today. Groggy. Just ten more minutes...

Go here and vote! Fred's in group 4! :)

Free Fiction Friday: Dead In The Water - Part 14 - SFW

Welcome to this week's edition of Free Fiction Friday!

I'm honestly surprised I was as productive as I was this week, considering I've been subbing the last three days. I pretty much made myself sit at the computer when I'd get home and not get up until the work for the day was done. I hope it came across alright.

This week's edition is a little longer than normal, and next week's will be quite long as well, as it'll be the final chapter of "Dead In The Water". After it's all wrapped up I migh...

*crosses fingers*

Lightning Rod has been queried to Blind Eye Books. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Quick Little Update

House of Stone currently stands at 60,207 words.

And with that, I'm going to bed.

Since All The Cool Kids Are Doing It...

Who am I to argue?

Finally got around to setting up my GLBT Bookshelf page. :) Thanks going out to ebooklover33 and cassandra_gold for helping me figure the thing out at first. :)

Going to make House of Stone clear 60k tonight if it kills me. Hopefully it won't. My fan will be heartbroken. :)

Sub Report

I realize I promised this post last week, as a few of you were wondering how the subbing gig went.

I stand by my original statement: I want to find every sub I had in high school and apologize to them for probably being a dipshit.

It's not really THAT bad, considering mostly I was just watching over busywork and babysitting study halls. I was given some cardinal rules, though.

1. They can smell fear.
2. For even inch given, they will take a mile.
3. Be firm, know when and how to say no.
4. Th...

Free Fiction Friday: "Dead In The Water" - Part 13 - SFW

Welcome back to Free Fiction Friday!

Sorry about the week's hiatus, but I really needed the recharge. Here's hoping that this week's chapter was worth the wait. :) The story's moving right along now, and I suspect that this novella has about 2 more parts left in it, maybe three.

As always, please check out fellow Free Fictioneer id_locke as well, as she's got a serialized novel going for the next twenty weeks or so. :) I'm also pleased to announce that I have confirmed a third author for Free ...
