A Post of Many Things

I knew the people I followed and interacted with on Twitter were several shades of awesome, but they shone last night throwing a myriad of marvellous advice at this technophobic idiot. I'd downloaded the edits for Nowhere Hall and spent the day commenting on the editor's changes and saying what I agreed with, what I didn't agree with and changing things, then I closed the file and went to email it to the editor. Only wait, I couldn't find the file. I'd saved to the downloaded file rather than creating my own file in Word and my computer swallowed it into its nether regions never to be seen again. Serious panic attack until I gave up the hunt and decided to re-do the edits today. Thankfully, I remembered most of my comments and felt doubly sure about them after a sleep.

Aaron Polson announced yesterday that Amazon had made his book 'We are the Monsters' available for free and that he'd had over 6,000 downloads since. Although, I'd much prefer he was making loads of cash, I know that readers are Aaron's number one priority, so if you haven't previously read any of his work, now would be an excellent time to discover him.

And over at the Fae Awareness site (run by KV Taylor and Mark Deniz) they are running a competition in which you can win a chapbook. The competition is only open for a couple more hours and the link is here... And don't forget there's still plenty of time to enter my Spectral Press competition.

I'm wilting under a self-imposed ban to stay away from twitter until the weekend. My head is mostly buried in Nowhere Hall and I should be able to send the story scurrying to its intended market this weekend. Then, I guess I need to find anthology guidelines that are buried under a pile of mess and perhaps set my brain to thinking what the heck to write about for those.

Anyway, because I'm not ready to join Twitter Anonymous, here are the tweets I would have tweeted if I was on twitter...

=Sod Twitter Anonymous, I need to join Amazon Rank checker anonymous.
=I think I'm allergic to my butterfly necklace. This makes me sad. I think I'll continue to scratch until my skin tears off.
=Pitting a headless red jelly baby against a yellow one instead of writing… I mean, while I work out a plot point.
=My family have Rudolph noses. Thinking of sealing myself in a bubble. The house keeps shaking with their sneezes.
=My colleague leaves next week to work in DUBAI. She'll travel all over the world. Me, I'll continue to shuffle from scanner to computer.
=I'm in trouble. Haven't sorted out my nephew's wedding photos for mum yet. It'll be their 1st anniversary before I get to it.
=wish I was here :D

Of course there are no @replies. I do like to @reply, I'm especially fond of @reply cheekiness.
