I still haven't come up with a series title.
Those are especially difficult.
It's hard enough to come up with something that applies to a book and sounds good, let alone something that applies to a whole series.
Hey guys. I'm feeling low. I've done everything you're supposed to do about it and when that failed, finally caved and emailed a friend asking if we could talk about what's bugging me. Now I'm terrified that as soon as she checks her email, all my friends will go "EWWWWW, AN EMOTIONALLY NEEDY PERSON!" and run the other way when they see me walking down the street.
I came out to go to the gym, but for the first time in my life I think maybe I'll just go home. I'll have to go tomorrow instead.

Reading such an awesome epic fantasy series has not helped my writerly ambitions. It's just made them bigger than ever before, so my ambition now vastly outstrips my talent in every possible respect.
Makes me feel small and stupid, it does.

Review done. But it's a bit too late to do much else as it's five to midnight here.

To everyone who needs a little bit of uplifting: a site with a...very interesting title...
I....
*has flashback to this.*
If you haven't read it already, The Plague Dogs is... well, it ain't cheery, but it is loaded with handy facts and observations.

Gods, that is an acid flashback I didn't need...
Um, I don't know because there's sex, and well, you know, things get.... hard....
I'm 12, btw.

I love you for this.
You, not so much.
To misquote a movie i liked very much: If writing wasn't hard, then everybody would do it. The hard is what makes it great.
I wish it'd just be a little bit easier. That way it wouldn't be slowly driving me irreperably insane.

Anybody know any magazines looking for short fiction in the cyberpunk/post-cyberpunk/near future SF genres? That seems to be all I know how to write short story-wise. XD
Well there's your problem then.Well, not that much in the type of erotic fantasy I write is hard...
Interzone maybe? My first of two stories published there (caveat: not with the current editors) got a review that said I was "well versed in cyberpunk". That came as news to me - I hadn't even read Neuromancer then! (I have now.) Zanzjan has been published there under the current editorship, so hopefully she will comment here?
I'm sure Asimov's and F & SF wouldn't say no to that kind of SF if the story was good enough. There's also Analog, but I know far less about that market.
Go here, start at the top and work your way down. Also look at the anthology market listings.

Morning 
It's not sunny, so I'm leaving that there in lieu of the real thing which I am beginning to believe I shall never see again.
Handy hint for today: logging in with your password as your user name doesn't work - you can't believe how often I try to do that.

Tahiti sounds good. I just read today that even the birds arriving from the south take one look around here, say: 'I can't work under these circumstances!' and are off again back south. Can't blame them.
Still, the bird feeders are packed these days. It's great to see the birds in such numbers. We were rather worried at the start of the cold spell that we didn't see any birds.

Thank you, ma'am.*brings Ace coffee*
You're up early, sir!
*yawns*
And yes, I am up early.
Woke up this morning feeling massively, massively, vastly discouraged about my writing. I'm never going to succeed, at anything, ever.
it'll pass, it always has. But i hate it while it's here.

Morning all.
I have a sick man. Why do they think they are dying if they just have a little cold?
ION Can't wait for it to warm up, melt off the snow and the sun to rise just a bit earlier. Haven't been walking in almost a month and I MISS IT! Pants are starting to get a bit tight again and I miss the alone time to think on writing.
Hugs to all
