This article is too cool not to share. The Washington Post interviewed Treva Harte, one of the owners of Loose Id.

No, I’m not talking about menage this time. I’m talking about writing. I’ve got two stories live in my head at the moment and it’s kind of weird.

I just finished the rough draft of Dark Elves VI: Awakening as well as the first round of edits on Heaven Sent: Revelations, so, naturally, I’m ready to start the next project. I don’t stop, you know. I may not be writing as fast sometimes or I may be stuck and not writing at all, but the stories never really halt in my head.

Well, I was all set to start this story that is so far “the boss” story because I don’t have a title for it yet. I started working on this one over a year ago when the first scene jumped out at me and I had to write it. I managed to write 20,000 words on it before I fizzled out. I think it was Unicorn that needed to be written, so I put this boss story aside. But now it fits perfectly with a submission call that Loose Id sent out so I’m trying to get that one done and in by the deadline. It’s the story I planned to do.

So, imagine my chagrin when another story up and accosts me. I’m going to say it isn’t my fault. Look at this picture by Heise.

Is that not one of the most beautiful things you’ve ever seen? I’d seen it before because I purchased her artbook, but I was looking again the other day and a story for these guys just leaped out at me. I’d written close to 5K words before I’d really realized it.

So now I’ve got 2 stories going and I don’t know who’ll win out. Not sure I can get both of them done before I need to start working on the sequel to About Something, which I’ve agreed to do.

*sigh* so many stories!

Perhaps you know and perhaps you don’t that I maintain my own website. OK, I don’t do all the coding, I leave that to the WordPress team and the terrific people who make the freebie themes, but once it’s installed, I’m the one who tweaks it for graphics and moves stuff around. I’m the one behind the scenes installing plugins and maintaining the links. I do a lot of that at Fiction with Friction too, as well as the League of Amazing Writers.

Recently, I added another blog to my webmistress list. And today I blogged there. Visit the MLR Press Authors blog to see.

Today the MLR Press authors’ blog went live. Only has the one real post up so far but authors have already signed up to post throughout the month. Should be exciting. Add it to your bookmarks.

BTW, I’m especially proud of it since I designed the site. Well, I took the basic graphic elements and tweaked a WP theme. *pats self on back anyway*

Despite having once wanting to be a famous actress, I don’t watch awards shows much. But, I do tend to watch the Oscars. Dunno, guess since it’s “the big one” I’m still fascinated. I rather liked last night’s show. Hugh Jackman was great and I personally think that was one of the best opening sequences ever. I also liked the change in having the 5 former winners announce the nominees for supporting actress, supporting actor, best actor and best actress. OK, maybe it was a bit too personal at moments, but I thought it was very nice and very tasteful. All in all, I was happy.

I was very happy that Milk got two such prestigious awards. Both Dustin Lance Black and Sean Penn’s speeches were lovely and both emphasized the need for equality for everyone. Loved it.
