It's raining, it's pouring and Cate is feeling boring she went to bed with a story problem in her head and hadn't solved it by morning
...and I guess I did still post it. Only that wasn't all I posted because there's more (you're safe, no more rhymes).
Still working on ideas for my mad escapade novella, which now has 7,500+ words of notes and a pretend title - The Museum of Impossible Artefacts. The story construction reminds me a little of Theatre of Curious Acts (that's my book in case anyone googles it and goes, what the?), shuffling over different time periods and well, it's just bonkers. In my head. It should be my NaNoWriMo project (with a couple of shorts thrown in for good measure, or hey, it may turn out to be a novel. On my knees, please God).
On the short story side. I completed #10bythen. Phew! In fact, I'm up to eleven submissions thanks to thoughtful rejections. Editors, seriously, you don't have to worry about me anymore, I have my ten submissions and don't need any more rejections. Good of you to assist though. Consider yourself hugged. Hard. My bowler hat/mailbox man is still stewing - I may add some bones and cobwebs later; and I've resurrected my Shock Totem comp entry (and its prequel) from earlier this year and am editing, editing, editing.
Oh, and did I say no more rhymes... Well I didn't lie. Honest.

Procrastinating by reading blog posts from a year ago, I realised how much I wrote during 2009 (and I know in 2008) and how much of a lazy ass I've been this year, so I decided, it's time to go back to end of month posts where I list what I've done the previous month. I already have my #10bythen friends over on Twitter, so competing alongside them should hopefully keep me on the straight and narrow.
I currently stand at one new sub out for September, three stories awaiting edits (will get to them from tomorrow - family day today and much talk about my eldest nephew's upcoming wedding which is so not planned at all), so assuming I get at least two rejections for stories already subbed this month, I need to write four new short stories and edit them (begins to gnaw fingernails - which is mad because I could so have done them a year ago). I'll also be working on my plans for my 1920s/far-future/kick-ass romp (I need some fun in my life) which will from now be subtitled 'Escapade into Madness'.

You'll be back on track in no time; sounds like you've been fairly prolific, regardless.
School starting up again has slowed me down, and my WiP is stagnate at 33,000 words; but I'll get back to it. My 21 short fiction submissions are out there, somewhere...
I've only completed one project this year and no short stories. Last year I was doing so much better. Maybe I'll join you in the 'pull up your socks and work' resolution.
Two shorts and more to edit. I would say that deserves high praise. I am currently editing, along with my editor, my epic fantasy and working on a short story. Both are series projects. So two thumbs up for you.
I found you through Kate's Scribbling Sea Serpent blog and now I'm following you.
Busy, busy. #10bythen has a number of writerly folk hopping.
That song always reminds me of Con Air ... unfortunately?
It does, Aaron. It certainly made me move my butt.
Very unfortunate indeed, Robert.
You're rocking, Cate!
I see y'all having tons of fun with the #10bythen. Been thinking about joining in next month to help get me motivated for Nano.
My past week has been strangely rejection-free. No acceptances either, though. =[
Man, you're busy! Teach me how to unfreeze my brain?
Ha, I wish, Lee.
You should do it, Andrea. It's a great motivator.
Milo, I wish for your luck. ;)
Ha, it's all an illusion, Natalie.
Mad escapade novels should be encouraged whenever possible. I hope the story problem has worked itself out by now!
I liked the rhyme! :-D Congrats on finishing #10bythen this month. I'm starting to get a little worried about my own submission progress...
I agree, Kate (on the mad escapade that is).
Thanks, Anthony. Oh, and I wouldn't. As long as we're subbing who cares if we make ten or not.
<3 for the rhyme!
Congratulations on 10bythen. Having tried it that one time, I fully understand the pain. And you rock.
Well done!
You make me want to go and hide in shame for my lack of submissions.
I can never hear that song without thinking of ConAir and Nick Cage saying "Put the bunny down."
Another reason I dislike Michael Bay.
Oh, bollocks. I haven't even started #10bythen. I may panic. Or start the heavy drinking. Or both. >.<
Congrats on cranking out the subs well before deadline, though, good lady!
