NaNoWriMo progress update
I figure that I should update at least once during November, considering that this is my writing blog and I'm spending a great deal of the month doing just that (hopefully).
Also, it is snowing. Quite a bit, in fact.

Accepted!
I had a poem accepted for publication at Three One Six!! I'm very excited as it's my one of my first submissions in a long while -- and it was successful! I also had a couple of poems rejected by Fear and Trembling, but the rejections came with such helpful and encouraging comments from each editor (basically, most just didn't feel that my work ( Read more... ) -
Poem draft finished
Revival
The young woman laughs like she is in love
joy beneath the silver moon new-fallen snow
The city is dead, now is the ghosting hour
shadows reach like fingers falling across
the couple as they wander through the ruins,
midnight tryst. They have never kissed
Not a city of mortals but walked by ageless
beings that swallowed ( Read more... ) -
One-and-a-half poems

Poetry, short fiction, and...muffins?

Oh, and I baked some mildly successful cranberry-raspberry muffins, which I may have over-cooked slightly. They tasted pretty good, especially since I ended up substituting yogurt and vinegar for the buttermilk and eggs. Oops. ( Read more... ) -
Slow story
A somewhat productive writing day. I managed to write a poem that I'm moderately happy with, although it needs some work. I also clocked nearly another 1,000 words on the short story. However, I had no idea where I wanted it to go (or I do in the sense that I know what the very last paragraph will [probably] be, I just don't know how to get ( Read more... ) -
Short story started
As I wrote earlier, I've been feeling the lure of the pen (or, more accurately, my desktop and, to a lesser extent, my mostly broken-down laptop). So today, I did it. I wrote my first words of fiction since NaNoWriMo '06. And it was scary and fun and exhilarating and actually (I hope, and hoping not to jinx myself) the words themselves weren't ( Read more... ) -
Back
I've decided to resurrect my long-neglected Live Journal and use it as my writing blog. So...what's been happening on the writing front? Not a whole lot. But I have written a couple of poems of late, which is more than I've done since NaNoWriMo. Also, I've begun reading fiction again, which I had somehow gotten out of for quite some time (see ( Read more... ) -
Moving day
I'm sick of having to resize photos so they look good on this blog, so I'm moving to Blogger. Find me at http://wbcowgirl.blogspot.com/ .
