alexandraerinNews For Today
I had a bit of a turning point in the editing together of the first part of Gift of the Bad Guy this weekend and was able to fix some of the major problems/inconsistencies between it and the still mostly nascent second part (mostly nascent because of the gulf between where I wanted to go with it and what I'd established at the outset).
I'm also toying with the idea of formats/venues for it. I'm thinking about ebooks, in particular. After looking at how nicely the first part hangs together, I'm thinking of releasing it as a series of cheap (like a buck or so) novelettes. This way I can make some money off the work and get my "performance" fix out of it on a more timely basis than if I wait until I've developed a whole novel. When I've got several hundred pages, then I'll look at print publication options.
The MU roommate derby's been going great. I'm a little worried that Dee's early lead is going to discourage people from participating, but there's still plenty of time for that to change. I'll call the experiment a success either way... I've taken in about $250 from it so far.
Personal Assessment
Throat still sore, nose still runny. Perhaps a little better than yesterday, or at least not worse.
Dreams From Last Night
None, since the last one.
Random Link
Less Than Three Press is an e-publishing house devoted to gay erotica/romance with umabiguously happy endings. They're interested in attracting a wider pool of authors at the moment; here's their latest call for submissions.
Plans For Today
Finish the Tales of MU chapter I started for today, and sleep/rest a bunch. When my body is fighting illness, I tire very easily, and rest seems to be the best cure for me.
