Friday Rants and Raves - March 27

[sarillia]

Hello all! It's been a while since I've done this. So how is it going? Got anything to celebrate? Anything you want to vent about? What's going on?

As always, here's a picture from my collection. The Lava Pit by Rowena Morrill:

My RP partner and I finished our Thing and sent it winging to Writers of the Future. And I finished my Codexian Idol story (code-named "werewolf in space" because why should urban fantasy have all the fun; let's get some space opera in on the lycanthrope train!), but it's two thousand words too long for CI. Of course.

Fortunately, there's a place I can stop it where it's still a sort-of ending, and I'm not too worried about winning the contest (I won't). And I really, really like this story.

The "write a short and then work on the novel" plan has sort of gone by the wayside, and I really should pick that up again. And maybe that would be easier if I wasn't juggling broken plates and trying to figure out how to glue them together in midair.

Overall, pleased with my output on the year, but less pleased with the fact that both extant novels are stalled like big stalled things.

I always admire your productivity. Werewolves in space sounds really interesting too. I'm curious about the whole moon thing and how that works.

Part of me still thinks I should submit something to Writers of the Future at some point but the rest of me knows I like writing novels so much more than short stories and can't stop thinking that my short stories are crap.

yeah, werewolves in space sounds awesome. Is it /any/ moon that triggers it? What if the planet they're on doesn't have a moon? Important things.
