THE EMPIRE
In a Lull
Because, you know, that's how freelancing is.
In the lull, I'm busy networking my heinie off, trying to get NN to fly like a bird. It's hard work, don't let anyone tell you different. From everything I've read, it's just as much work as if you have a publishing house behind you, only they have better distribution channels. I think the best advice I've seen is to release your baby, then start working on the next project. Oh, and networking the live-long day.
So, to that end, I'm plastered all over the place.

I have been asked to contribute a short story to author Joshua Guess's March release of "Living With the Dead - Year 0ne" and I'm really exited for that. The outline is already done.
I'm also working on a short story called "Jack and the Dollhouse", although it's slow going.
"Athena's Promise" is in formatting hell. I'm trying out Scrivener for the PC so I can keep better track of where I am and where I need to go. I really hope to finish that off by April. Pallas will go the traditional route, so I need to think about agents and publishers. I may go with a small press, since daylight's burning and I don't want to be dead before it gets published, and I don't trust the climate with big houses right now. I know enough to know I'm not signing over all my e-rights, for one -- and the way things are, even if AP was picked up immediately (puh-leeze, I have a better chance of being struck by lightning and I know it) it would be at LEAST 2012 if not longer before it was released.
But, I don't have to make that decision yet. I have to finish the bitch, first. I know, I know. I'm sick of hearing about it too, believe me. *sigh*

It is bitterly cold, like in the ZERO range, and we just got socked by another big snowstorm with more on the way today and again Monday. Jeezum fecking cheeto, I haven't seen this much snow since I left New York, and my back HATES it. It might be time to start considering a slightly more temperate climate. Not this year, and maybe not next...but eventually.
****
Now, I'm actually going to relax and do something other than hunch over the keyboard. I'm hooked on "Gold Rush - Alaska" and I have some knitting to do.
Can you stand the excitement? Neither can I. Heh.
