Progress today:
1. wrote a flash for Show Me Your Lits.
2. read flashes at Liberty Hall.
3. caught up on Daily Science Fiction, at least a bit. One story, in particular, caught my attention. Outside the Box by Brian Winfrey. His first short story attempt. I’ll be interested to see what else he comes up with, whether he’s trapped within this lively voice or it is simply one facet of his craft.
4. worked some more on my critique for Australia.
5. first read on second critique
6. tweaked a flash piece and submitted it to Daily Science Fiction.
7. subbed a twitter fiction to Nanoism. I’ve had difficulty breaking into that market. I think my work is a touch too genre for his taste, but it’s on my bucket list now. We’ll see just how stubborn I really am. Have a look at Simon Kewin’s twitter fiction there. Cool, eh?
8. read Chapters 24-26 in Pride and Prejudice. To tell the truth, my mind kept wandering, but there was a marriage and a touch of fairly hilarious (and insightful) prose, as well as Lizzy deciding what love is not (she’s wrong, of course).
So, while I didn’t exactly finish what I wanted to finish, I did work my tail off, so I’m not going to beat myself up too much. I’ll leave that task to you, dear reader.

In closing, I’m pretty pissed at North Korea today. That country needs a diaper change or something. And what’s with the hair? I hope it doesn’t blow up into more than the usual tantrum for world attention.

I have a sneaking suspicion you’re reading P&P to immerse yourself in the language of the period — perhaps for a foray into Steampunk? I could be totally off-base, of course…
Or you could be a Percept. As it happens, I do have such an endeavor in mind, based right here in New Castle PA, the once tin-plating capitol of the world and now a fireworks mecca. 1800 historic homes, from 1850′s to 1940′s, home to a HUGE Scottish Rite cathedral that sits atop North Hill, watching over the industrialized valley and downtown area. This place was born to be steampunked. You’ll have to wait for my Write1Sub1 plan for more details.
