In my current #WIP, there is some mopping up to be done by my 2 main characters. It's a gruesome task in comparison to the mopping up I am doing in preparation for the long weekend (i.e. laundry, making picnic plans, final edits of the aforementioned tale).
So, even though I feel like this is the never-ending edit, things could be much worse. Wait till you read what task they are tackling 
I plan to take it easy for the next few days, but that doesn't mean I won't still sneak in some brainstorming for other WIPs. Besides, what better way to do so than staring up at the clouds from under a shady tree?
In other writing news:
- One of my fave Brits and constant source of inspiration DJR has finished the first draft of his latest novel, Dog Eat Dog. Cannot wait to read it!
- I hear the first edition of the Red Penny Papers is going to be stellar, with pieces so far from Aaron & Cate. I better finish my submission and hope it gets accepted
- Barry Napier really is conquering the writing world with the acceptance of his poetry collection, A Mouth For Picket Fences. GO Barry!
- I'm completely jealous that my fellow hi-fiver Katey is going to the Mutter Museum to do a little research! Yes – medical oddities are fun!
- Miss Beanses has started posting snippets of stories that will appear in the From The Dark Side Anthology. Looking forward to reading more!
Funny how it's Summer and I seem busier now more than ever. I guess when you're freelancing, it's harder to differentiate between seasons. Or week. Or days. Or hours.

Mary’s eerie tales inspire in readers the urge to double-check the deepest, darkest closets, to peer anxiously under the creakiest of beds, and to always sleep with the lights on.
Thanks for the shout out!
Anytime!
The Mutter?? *sigh* Now I’m jealous, too.
We should crash! Ambush Katey in the name of writerly inspiration.
I’m thinking the week of Aug 10. I’ll see you two there, huh?
It would be fantastic if you were in the same issue as us.
Medical oddities are THE BEST! I am so excited to get to go there– and hoping I can get into the library at the Physician’s College too. Mmm, 1820s med student hijinks shall resume very soon, methinks.
RPP needs ya!
