News For Today

A tweet by Tim Pratt yesterday:

When younger, it bothered me that my 1st response to any criticism of my work was incoherent rage. Now I know it's just part of my process.


Gives me some nice perspective. The world doesn't consist of people who take criticism with quiet dignity and grace and people who go all Scott Adams or Anne Rice with nothing in between.

I just might frame that tweet and put it up on my wall next to the picture of Office Productivity Manager Batman. The purpose of the quote wouldn't be to justify my anger. It would be to lessen it, by giving me something to smile at when I'm inclined towards anger.

Personal Assessment

My brain is so burnt from this weekend. I got to sleep late last night and woke up late today, and my brain is still in a fog.

Plans For Today

Pretty minimal. I'm going to post Tales of MU chapter 6 when I'm awake enough to be messing around with that sort of thing, which I'm going to estimate as being anywhere between 2:00 and 6:00. That, and posting a flash story from my file, is going to be about it. I might write a few flash stories today if the fog clears sufficiently... if I can get two or three of them, then with the built-up backlog of such stories I won't have to give another day this week over to Fantasy In Miniature and so I won't fall behind for the week.

News For Today

So I attached a note to today's Tales of MU about the newsletter opt-in, with a link to a permanent URL for the form that I'd previously only put in a blog post. I'll be sending out the first one next week. I'm leaning towards putting the text of it online... only the first one. This way people who missed the opt-in but who are sponsors will have a better chance of catching it, and people who aren't sponsors won't have to go so far to get a sample of what's in it.

There's a bit of an interesting conversation about audience with C.S.E. Cooney in the comments on my post about her Jack o' the Hills story. I may have a long rambling blog post about that by and by.

Personal Assessment

I've been slow to wake up today, mentally. It's already coming up on noon and I haven't been in writing form yet. Physically I'm good. I was late in getting to sleep (and thus late to wake up), but I slept well. It's cool in the house today.

Plans For Today

I'm rearranging things a bit from what I'd expected last week. My plan last week had been that I would write Tales of MU today. Aside from my late start and moderate brain fog, it doesn't seem like a good idea to try to give my undivided attention to the next chapters the same day the new one goes up. That's just not something that would work well for me. So instead I'm going to be Fantasy In Miniaturing today... a little bit of a palate cleanser. I posted the last flash story from last week today, so I need to build up my portfolio again.
