After that Indian Summer stint over Halloween, I’m glad to have the temperatures back down in the “hot tub” range again. Last night, we soaked until I turned pruney. Ahhh.
Writing Stuff:
Received permission from the artist (Sean Simmons) to display his artwork for “Perfidious Beauty.”
Isn’t it gorgeous? Can’t wait to see how it’ll look in print. (And, am I flattering myself, or does “Beauty” have a certain resemblance to yours truly?)
Didn’t post yesterday, but if I had, I’d have logged 640 words.

Woohoo, finally hit flow! These 4.7K were on a brand new story. (I can’t seem to finish anything these days.) And they’re all incredibly raw. I didn’t even bother re-reading and editing as I go, as I often do, just kept hammering words on the page as long as the images and the story kept coming. I shudder to think how rough my prose on it is. This one is turning out very slipstreamy, almost mainstream. I’ve got it mapped out in my head, the plot and theme, the denouement and conclusion. I just have to finish it. This is going to be another novelette. I hope not a novella, but definitely a novelette at this rate.

As soon as I saw the picture, I saw the resemblance. 🙂

Whee! That’s the most I can manage on my best days. Doesn’t “flowing” feel great?
I had the same thought about the illustration: “hey, that’s Eugie!”
Congrats on the artwork and on hitting the flow with a new story.
Thanks, sweetie!
“Doesn’t “flowing” feel great?“
Ghod, yes. I was beginning to get really pissed with myself. It’s such a relief to get some real word count on the page again!
Sigh. One of the downsides of living in a city apartment. I have hot-tub envy.
We should definitely have you over sometime so you can indulge in non-apartment soakitude!
I love that art. It’s sexy and mysterious.
I love it too! I’m so pleased with how it turned out!
Love the pic 🙂 Makes it even more difficult to wait until it’s out! lol.
I know, I know! I can’t wait to hold the final product in my hot little hands!
Yes, it does look like you. I like it.
Thank you! Glad to hear that I wasn’t just being vain. Or else all you folks on my friends list are humoring me . . .
Eugie, that is gorgeous! Thanks for posting it.
My pleasure!
