Kevin's Watch

well then i'd LIKE to submit but i don't have anything to submit.

i'd venture to guess that maybe drew would like to submit too.
altho he hasn't been around much lately i had a pm from him a couple
of weeks ago that he's working on some new stuff.

i'll send him a pm and holler at him to chk out this thread.

Clearly, luci, he says that to *all* the girls....

And yes, dammit, luci, plan to submit something! Drew too! Sheesh, with the amount of writing talent we have around here, I can't believe I have to go through this....

I've decided to submit something that might not put dAN into toxic shock syndrome--Coronation Day, a lovely little post-nuclear-impact thriller where two lonely men and a military assault-shotgun attempt to leave a leveled city full of 100,000 starving survivors.

Once this project is ready for submissions, I'll send along the pretty much final, ultra-polished-so-slick-you'll-drop-it copy. I'm also working on Red, another juicy action piece with large but-not-quite giant robots (seeing as I covered the giant robot genre in my previous book).

"previous book"? maybe I'm not so inclined to throw my beginner story writing in the mix...

Foul's just unnaturally prolific, don't worry about it. McDonalds is prolific too.

Pff. If one book (and a novella) and a few short stories and volumes of poetry is prolific. I'd say its Brahmsian at best, and my quality is more like Wendy's than McDonalds. They cook made to order, not on heating stands.

So LF, can I get a Frosty instead of fries with my anthology?

Sure. I put the Frosty in the middle of the book and rubber-banded it all together. Make sure to stick it in the freezer once you get it!

Having blown the dust off my most complete fragment of a story, I'm more than a little dismayed by the fact that about 33% of it is off-topic footnotes.

Not that that should come as any great surprise to anyone.

THOOOP.

Sample Chapter Heading: 10 Billion Years Prior to Italy.

I'd definitely submit, though I have to warn you it would probably be poetry...and it tends to be...dense? My lit and writing prof's loved it, most people just say "Huh?" [with occaisional "I fucking hate poetry" thrown in].
I love my short stories when I'm writing them...a week later they just seem stupid, but I might try one.
I need a definite deadline, though...or I'll definitely be dead before I write a line.

i thought we were doing a poetry volume as well. thinking maybe i wshould just wait for that?

Uh...I wouldn't wait for a poetry volume, Sarge. I think we have a better chance of Anthology IV happening than KeWaPoMo....

Yeah, for God's sake, we're having a hard enough time getting out this book.

Well, the great news - for me - is that I finally have an idea I can work with. It came to me the night after the nice comments earlier. So, count me in for an entry.

Excellent. You always have the most intriguing ideas.

You're a great writer, LM, and writers can go months or years without writing and still not lose the essential touch. I don't think you'll have any problems. Just enjoy yourself!

You only need one idea at a time. Look at SRD.
