Starting SSIAW

Well, things have been going well for writing. I am about halfway through writing a draft of my WIP with the working title of Space Pirates. This story is turning out to be longer than I had originally envisioned, but is going well. This week marks the beginning of SSIAW (short story in a week) which is run through OWWW, a SF/F critique group. At the beginning of each week during March, one of the moderators at OWWW sends out two word lists of 5 words each. Each participating member must write a… Continue

New projects, new yahoo group

Well, this past year has been a slow writing year for me, with too many distractions from work and other things. I finally have my work schedule into a more manageable state, and have been freeing up my time. In writing-related events, I have started a new yahoo group called BIC_HOK_TAM - Butt in chair, hands on keyboard, typing away madly! It is a group intended to allow writers of any sort of fiction or non-fiction to chat about writing and to set goals and challenges in a semi-public arena to… Continue

Submission decisions

Wow, so it's been a while since I've submitted any of my short fiction, but it's time to get it back out there. I've spent several hours researching and organizing my lists of potential markets for 1 short story, 1 short novella, and 2 pieces of flash fiction. I'm too tired tonight to concentrate on the final e-sub, but plan on having 2 or 3 of the stories go out tomorrow. Then I'll be on to revision on another one, and plotting/outlining my NaNoWriMo novel that I started last month.

Back to work

Well, Andrew and I just returned from our honeymoon a few days ago. Everything was great, and now I'm dealing with the giant task of unpacking, organizing all the wedding gifts, thank you notes, and house cleaning. The good thing about all this is that I have nothing on my schedule besides normal work stuff. My free time is freed up with no deadlines. This means I'll finally have time to get back to my writing.


I think that I'll warm myself up by working on a couple of critiques for my

Writing again

Well, it's only 2 1/2 weeks before my wedding, and I managed to find some time to write today. I just started to work on a short story involving a cursed old man hiding in a cave in the arctic and the retired merchant that badgers him into revealing his secrets. I need to finish the rough draft by tomorrow, but I'm having some neck strain now, so the rest will have to wait until tomorrow.


In other projects, my piece for Compendium should appear in the October issue. I signed all the ap

Come on Over

I'm over at a few other blogs today. If you get a chance, come on over to see the Christmas Decorations at http://acmeauthorslink.blogspot.com/

At http://bloodredpencil.blogspot.com/  the topic is Spoiled Milk. Ever sit down to read a good book and been disappointed?

If you haven't yet, check out the post below about the Paper War.

Thanks,
Morgan Mandel

Paper War

I've been waging a war on paper the last few days. So far, paper is winning. The more I clean up, the more of it I find. The problem is, for much of it, I feel an obligation to do a thorough examination and decide whether or not it's worth keeping.

The mailperson is my enemy. He, sometimes she, keeps leaving more paper in my mail box. I'm not talking about my Christmas cards, which I cherish, but all the other stuff dropped off for me to sort out. At times it's torture to come home and see the new pile the DH has set on the kitchen table.

I've discovered tons of magazines over a year old. They were trying to hide in a magazine holder on the side of the couch, but not doing a good job of it, since they were spilling over. Of course, I decided to check the headings on the covers to see if some of the information inside might prove valuable. Wouldn't you know it, I was right. Many articles seemed to good to give up.

I've already mentioned here before about how I also have a compulsion to print out emails that seem important to me. The result is I have lots of important pieces of paper. When there's an abundance, which is the most important? And, where's the one I really need? It is a quandary.

What about you? Is paper your enemy? Are you also waging a war against it? Who is winning?

Library Displays - See Make Mine Mystery Monday
