  1. Wrote 4 pages for chapter 4 of 2nd novel. Getting off to a good start with this one. Still about two days behind schedule.
  2. RT @GuyKawasaki: What happens when you microwave an ostrich egg: http://om.ly/?qrU Can you tell I'm using http://om.ly/?qrV tonight? :-)
  3. The 2nd novel is 300 pages shorter than 1st novel, but 3X as complicated to outline. Posterboard is covered with Post-It notes. Go figure...
  4. Five months of unemployment has pushed me into "starving writer" mode. Nice. Haven't had ramen in years. I'll get a case tomorrow.
  5. Entered 2nd half of chapter 3 of 2nd novel into e-file. Cross-checking print out to update outline. No sprawling mess in this rough draft.
  6. Sent off another email query for vampire novella. I don't like next day rejections but that's cheaper than mailing a 100 page manuscript.
  7. Good news - Laundry Monster vanquished for this week. Bad news - Clutter Monster is wallowing in unsorted but clean laundry. *sigh*
  8. Wrote a poem to clear my mind for today's tasks. Under the weather. Phone calls from recruiters not helping when I want to be left alone.
  9. British publisher rejected query for vampre novella since inventory is full until mid-2011.
  10. Entered half of chapter 1 of 2nd novel into the e-file. Will finish tomorrow. I'm two days behind schedule now.
  11. Sent email query for my vampire novella to British publisher. If hard copy is requested, I'll find out how much foreign postage cost.
  12. Entered chapter 2 of 2nd novel into rough draft e-file. Entering handwritten pages is boring as heck. One more chapter to go.
  13. A ton of laundry that has to be done TODAY doesn't help matters either.
  14. Trying to decide if I'm feeling sick because I'm sick or being lazy because I have a lot of writing to do to stay on schedule. Hard to say.
  15. Have 1st novel in rough draft, writing 2nd novel before editing 1st, both will be finished next year. Agent hunting now or later? #writechat
  16. Received email rejection to query for 20,000-word vampire novella. Bummer!
  17. Working late night/early morning. Chapter 1 of 2nd novel is in the e-file.
  18. Cleaning up office and taking care of admin tasks. I have ~100 rejection slips and three acceptance letters from last three years. Good/bad?
  19. Wrote a 2nd poem today. Poems always appears like weeds: 1, 2 or 3 showing up together. Am I poet? Only God and suffering editors knows.
  20. Revised and prepped two previously rejected short-short stories to face a cruel world of rejections.
