[Writing Post} A Short, Sweet…But Still Random Post
So… this week, there’s nothing really to rant about in the writing world. That week turned around quite well with lovely office supplies coming in from unexpected sources. Thanksgiving was a rousing success – except for the unplanned and unwanted dog fight. Christmas is officially upon us…and ‘Tis the Season for Time Management.

I have accepted a request to be part of the “NEXT BIG THING†from J. Kathleen Cheney. I couldn’t get it done this week, so that’s probably what’ll be here next week. I also need some volunteers to tag. Because supposedly you do it and then get five more people to do it – so, since it’s the holiday season, and we all need to promote our wares, who wants in? Though the questions are geared toward novels and some fairly regimented options, I’ll be blowing most of that out of the water, so you can, too.

I finally bought Mignon Fogarty’s book Grammar Girl’s Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing. There are style and grammar things I can always stand to learn. Since I have to write a lot of stuff fast now – I should probably get some better tricks up my sleeve.
And now…and now…and now I should be writing. Really. Not blogs. Fiction. I have stuff that I really do need to be working on so I’m not talking smack when I do the interview/blog thing. So, as random stuff goes, this is a short post this week.
