Writing Markets Oy. I get to watch the morning phones as everyone (and I do mean everyone, I couldn't get a spot this morning even with coming in ten minutes early) is going to this big insurance meeting today. All this does for me is remind me I'm probably the only one in the corporation who is uninsured. Greaaat. Of course, my boss warned me that the meeting is probably just going to tell everyone that either their co-pay is going up, or they're cutting services. Either way, it won't be a fun meeting like I'm thinking. Still stinks sitting here answering phones though. I did find some markets for some writing though. This morning I explored the source of the swinger's article I posted, and I found out that IASHS publishes an online journal. Cool, especially as I plan to attend there. Plus, they accept theses for submission! So, guess what I'm going to do this weekend? (among everything else) Yup, I'm going to get my act together and reformat it for submission. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to see it in print sometime soon. As for the erotica piece, I'm holding off on that until I read Katy Terraga's ebook. I have the link for it so I can read it at work too. It looks like it has some good tips, and some of the markets seem applicable. So, I should be able to get that out next week or the week after. And yes, I'm still procrastinating about writing those letters to the student newspapers. Most of them I think I can do. The ones where I don't have much sense of the paper I should probably trash. I'd like to try them, but dead leads with little information doesn't lend much to a query letter so I'm having a hard time trying to think of a way to write them. Thus, I'm stuck. I also have a small project to do a poem on Euchre for the Ann Arbor Paper. Their summer issue is going to be a tribute to Michigan, and that's about the only thing I like in the state. I'm just having a hard time trying to write a poem that doesn't suck. I think I'll base it around a game of cards, that might be easier. Small reflections, that sort of thing. With the office so quiet, I should be able to knock it out minus calls from old crazy ladies. Beyond that, all I want to do is get a time table going for the move. I've got one more weekend for the big stuff and a short little week to get the inspection done. I was going to work this out with Dan last night, but he was hella pissed so I just did my own thing. Tonight, however, I'm going to hammer something out with him so we can knock this out. It's going to be a sucky weekend or two with all the work, but I think it'll be worth it. P.S. Please excuse the bad fit of my headshot. I was going to shrink it to fit at home, but I didn't have time this morning so I just combed through my archives on here for a good pic. I liked the one with my breasts hanging out too, but I do update this at work and its nice to be able to check out the site without wondering if my boss is going to pop by and see my yayas accidentally. Lol, that reminds me of the Tommy dress I bought yesterday from T.J. Maxx. Too bad I didn't notice it was sleepwear as I can't wear it work because its so low cut. Ahhh well. I know a few good places to take it already. P.P.S. One of these days, I will get a more recent headshot as my hair is now all short and nerdy again. I'll stick that up when it happens. Daphne |
