Jibber Jabber - Q1 - 29

[Kary English]

Oh, and if you still need a distraction, go download my free short story today. Reviews appreciated; honesty welcome. :) http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007X5SY58/

How long is it free? I was honestly going to wait until it's NOT free again, because I prefer to pay for my fiction. (Yes, I am even weirder than you thought...) I'll get a copy then, and I'll get a review up.

It will be not-free tomorrow. :) And you have my thanks either way.

Or maybe this is just one of my favorite Bugs Bunny bits...

I was going to link to a famous M*A*S*H episode, but I can't find any clips of it online. You know what that clip would say, though...

[Kary English]

M*A*S*H was one of my favorite shows. :)

I'm off to write now, so y'all behave. I've got a Q3 that needs finishing.

I've had a lot of M*A*S*H quotes running through my head lately. And lately I keep telling people "There's a rubber chicken in my teapot," but people don't seem to understand what I mean by that.

Q3 is sneaking up on me... anyone else have NO idea what they're going to submit?

[francisbruno]

My Q3 just came together. I'm hoping to have the first draft done this weekend.

[Martin L. Shoemaker]

Draftees of the world unite! You have nothing to lose but your cookies!

[katsincommand]

I don't want to lose my cookies! Or toss them either. Cookies are for eating. :P :P :P

I just need to get a few more k's done on the novel first...

[WriteToLive]

That's right, Q3 ends next month. I think I have a piece already done that I could sub to them (A revised story, no less).

[francisbruno]

Maybe they sent out the LAMP results snail mail yesterday and are ranking the holds... I can hope, can't I?
Time to finish up Q3 which is coming together nicely.

[Isto]

I'm not going to worry about submitting until they're back on schedule (they still have Q2 to judge) and I know a bit more about this judge. So, happy day! She's becoming cynical like the rest. (not really, just want to devote more time to my first love... writing novels. I've been spending too much time marketing and not enough fun spec time.)
Write write write...

[Martin L. Shoemaker]

I hope you've all learned from this result-less week: Evil Martin is NOT to be trusted as a prognosticator!

[francisbruno]

If you can't trust someone with 'evil' in their name, who can you trust?

[MJNL]

For example, isn't Marina being awfully quiet?

/

Lol. Ah, le sigh, Marina has been quiet for distinctly non awesome-phone-call reasons. Just usual life.

But tomorrow's another day.

[Martin L. Shoemaker]

But tomorrow's another day.

Shhh... Are you trying to wake up Evil Martin?

[Jennifer Hicks]

For those LAMPS (and others) who haven't gotten a whiff of a response of any kind, don't bother querying Joni. I've done it for you. Here's her response.

We are running a bit behind, but we will get the results out soon. If you haven't received notice that is a good thing, as we've sent out 99% of the rejects. Hang in there, we'll get to you soon.

So hang in there, folks. Answers are coming. Eventually.

[francisbruno]

Thanks for the update.

[Kary English]

Big thanks to Jennifer for taking one for the team. :) I just about had to physically restrain myself to keep from emailing Joni.

[Dustin Adams]

Nothing in my mailbox today.

I am in NY, so I may be the last to know, but I figured I'd report that NNiNN.

Joni said NNIGN at this point. We are part of the 1%, yeah!

[Dustin Adams]

Maybe, but being a LAMPS, my ?? could be in the mail, which technically means she's responded.

Consider, no LAMPS has heard. So I'm thinking mass mailing.

With apologies to Lamb Chop.

This is the thread that never ends,
It just goes on and on my friends,
Some people started posting here not knowing what it was
And they'll continue posting here forever just because

I think it would be LAMPS Chop on here...

Heheheh... Are you sure you're not Evil Mike?

Writer's Block is hell when you're writing a novel. Especially when you're trying to build the world in the first two chapters.

So, little things like that are slipping out. Evil Mike must be contained.

There is no Writer's Block, only Zuul.

[bwthomason]

And if someone asks if you're a god you say yes.

Zuul is worthless. Bow before Zod.

99% of the rejects are sent out? That is a good thing. Finally, no news really is good news, and there's still hope for those who wait. When will we know? As Joni said, "soon [and] eventually." Hmmm...that sounds like Thursday to me!
