Now, the waiting begins . . .

I finally resubmitted the story I've been blogging about to this contest. This is the one I had to increase in size, from 1,200 words to 5,000 or so. I finally wound up with a word count of 5,500. Just clicked "send" a few minutes ago. We'll see if the editor loves it as much as he did originally.

As for "Inside," I've decided to do that one as a screenplay for a short film. I think it works better like that. I still need to work on the story, though. There's just something missing. (Again, if you haven't heard the tune you really need to--just click here and click "Inside". It's the first song on the track list. Feel free to listen to the other stuff that's there, too.)

And as for "Mythophobia," I'm going to dive back into that little world in a little while. I want to relax first. I'm just about to get into the really interesting part. To be honest it's a little intimidating, because I know that it'll be quite wonderful. If I can pull it off. If I don't it'll be . . . well, not so wonderful.

I just put a pot roast in the slow cooker to simmer for a while--should be done in about four more hours. Smells good. I'm thinking mashed potatoes to go with it.

I'm listening to Kamelot's Ghost Opera, a nice soundtrack for my current state of mind. Check them out. You'll dig them. And keep your fingers crossed for me!
