Alive, and well, though still living in rejection land

I'm still here, I swear...really...I just got distracted by the shiny things called books and kind of fell off the face of the interwebz. ^^;;

In the world of writing we have no major updates; all previously sent out pieces have come back with lovely little rejection notes. *pouts* At least I'm getting lots of practice writing synopsis' and query letters.  Three new submissions I'm hoping to get drafted in June, so they can be edited and ready to be sent out in September/October.  I've signed up for June's Camp NaNoWriMo in hopes that it'll kick my ass into gear and get me to get at least 50K of one, or a mix of all three, of those new projects written in rabid *coughs* I mean rapid abandon.

In the non-writing world; I'm working AM2 next month in an attempt to slowly ease myself back into the convention circles.  It ought to be interesting to say the least. ^^

I'm also traveling up to San Francisco for the weekend next weekend for my Dad's most recent graduation.  That man never stops going to school. XD

So yeah, that's a brief update on where, and what I've been doing, or not doing since April - I'll have more frequent updates (spam, it's going to be a lot of spam on my current word count and other NaNo related babble) of a sort come June's Camp NaNo start.  Promise.

I don't really have a title for this...

Well, I just sent out my third story for this year. ^^ It's still in the very, very, very rough stages, and definitely needs some more attention, I mean love; but, it's out with the anthology editor as I continue working with it.

So far I've had a rather productive year in the world of writerly pursuits.  Nothing published as of yet, but we're not giving up!  I have myself a awesome group of motivational, yet sometimes violent cheerleaders waiting on my sidelines with noise makers and cattle prods.

Alternately, in the bibliophile side of my world I have successfully, or unsuccessfully, read the first two of the Fifty Shades trilogy that has been causing such a ruckus recently. :P  I'm not sure if I should be proud of myself for this, or ashamed.

Currently though, I am reading two insanely awesome books -

I will have more in-depth reviews once I complete them, but thus far they are insanely awesome in my book. <3

Sprawled out on a couch, ipod in my ears, writing the conclusion of another short story long hand; I'll type it up tonight before bed ^^

Synopsis successfully sent to editor of an anthology I literally tripped over XD Now to work on the piece for said anthology while I wait for her response.

Forward march!

Second submission packaged and sent off, let the nervous waiting/dancing begin.  This is the part I dislike about where I'm at right now; waiting to here the verdict on everything I send off.  *sighs*


In brighter news, I may have stumbled on a possible anthology for something I've already got written. ^^ So, I'm off to work on polishing said already written bit while I wait for response from the newly discovered possibility.


Also, also, I am somewhat ashamed to admit that I'm reading Fifty Shades of Grey right now...I know, bad Lacie reading erotica of the straight, and psychotically popular, variety; but I need to know how to combat that bloody teenagers who'll come in looking for it since some media idiot said it was good for the fans of the Twilight series.  At least, that's what I keep telling myself as I giggle at the whole thing.


*waves*

In other news; finishing my edits on the shifter story and doing another pass on the rejected story before I format it for self-pubbing ^^

Dear voices in my head, Can we try talking one at a time? It's real difficult to make sense of what ya'll are saying when you jabber together. Luv, plague girl
