Star Trek Blogfest

What a weekend. I did nothing I intended, and tons of stuff I did not. Figures. A few weeks ago I signed up for the awesome Star Trek blogfest hosted by Ellie Garratt and couldn't wait to really get cranking on it. I wanted this to be the best blog post ever.
Yeah, well, that didn't exactly work out. So I threw a bunch of crap together at the last minute.
The stated rules of the blogfest are to list 5 Trek things that I love, episodes, scenes…songs? Books?
Ooh. Books.
I may (or may not) have...

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly... Except Without The Good

I got an email yesterday from a big time publisher rejecting my novel along with the following comment:

"I realise that this is not the news you were hoping for, but I hope you will take some comfort from the fact that yours was one of just a handful of novels we requested after reading the initial submission."

For those who didn't know, the "initial submission" they mentioned was during said publisher's open door month where they solicited queries and a few sample chapters from the unagented. ...

Haven't posted anything space-y in a while. This is Titan, apparently after a giant with a can of spray paint ruined the thing. It'll take weeks to get all that scrubbed clean.

Happy day people.

How To Win at Twitter

Anyone who finds me on twitter, and has ever read my feed, knows that I hate Monday's, I hate them bad.  In fact, if I have a reoccurring theme, it's that I hate Monday's. I think I've been known to talk about it on almost any given day of the week. It's probably a byproduct of when I first started on twitter and no one followed me. It was quite freeing to just say whatever I wanted, knowing full well that no one would read it. So I started complaining.


I can't help it. Everything sucks, I...

Web Stuff

Hi again, not much to say this morning, but I did find myself in a few places on the internet. Thought someone might be interested.
Let's see. 
Alex announced the release of my Novelette today, thank you, sir. Always a good idea to stop by and see his site, the guy is everywhere, it can be... unnerving. I'm glad he has chosen to use his omnipresence for the cause of good.
Ellie Garratt also made mention of the new release on her post today, I'm a bit new to Ellie's blog, but she is hosting the S...

Sunday Sticklers

Well, Sunday again, another week in the books. I managed to doing something like a dozen loads of laundry. So, damn. Also managed to get my novelette up for Nook,and on Goodreads. Although I don't know what happened at Goodreads, I thought I was putting up a sample and then it said it was on sale for for $.99. Um, okay.

Watched a bit of TV with the missus, read for just a bit. All in all I think I've been pretty productive. Still may go to the movies too, maybe. We'll see.

Anyhow, the real thin...
