Thanks to those of you who helped me out with my fondant problems. This was a carrot cake with cream cheese icing covered in Satin Ice fondant. It is a practice for the "real" wedding cake which will look similar...hopefully!!

NCAA announces problems with Miami investigation
Thu., Jan. 24, 2013
CORAL GABLES, Fla. – After nearly two years, the NCAA has finally announced some of the wrongdoing discovered during the investigation of Miami's athletic compliance practices.
The alleged rule-breakers: Former NCAA employees.
NCAA President Mark Emmert revealed Wednesday that the Miami investigation is on hold after the governing body for college sports in this country discovered "a very severe issue of improper conduct" – specifically that the attorney for former booster and convicted Ponzi scheme architect Nevin Shapiro was used "to improperly obtain information … through a bankruptcy proceeding that did not involve the NCAA."
The NCAA does not have subpoena power. At least one of the people deposed by attorney Maria Elena Perez as part of Shapiro's bankruptcy case appeared under subpoena, and his testimony would not have been otherwise available to NCAA investigators. The investigators who were involved are no longer with the NCAA, Emmert said.
"How in the world can you get this far without it being recognized that this was an inappropriate way to proceed?" Emmert asked.
Allegations against the university are now on hold until an outside review of the NCAA's procedures, specifically in this case, are completed.
Emmert said the NCAA was trying to find out why part of the investigation was based on depositions specific to the bankruptcy case against Shapiro, who will have to repay $82.7 million to his victims as part of his sentence. One of those depositions was given Dec. 19, 2011 by former Miami equipment-room staffer Sean Allen – who has been linked to Shapiro and many of the allegations that he made against the university.
During that deposition done as part of Shapiro's bankruptcy proceeding, the phrase "University of Miami" was uttered at least 58 times either in questions or answers.
Miami was not part of the Ponzi scheme that led to Shapiro's legal downfall.

The island was named after the philosopher Plato and was part of the Atlantis Project. (NF novel: Stone and Anvil)


text:
As conservative as it sounds, family should be the priority over career. My colleague, Shee nicely said it :
� when you are 60 years old, you don�t want more money, you want grandchildren by your side,� Shee has no plan to climb the career ladder, both of us are on the same pay scale, in view that she is not a pharmacist. She studied environmental studies and did something completely different.
I have been very disturbed these few weeks, as I am thinking of a way out. I have been very narrow minded, in thinking that medicine is the only way out for me, PLUS the fact that I am married, my decision affects my husband. It�s not that easy. I am just fed up of singing the same old tune, my blog entries since 2002 mainly revolves around this unresolved issue. It�s funny that this problem doesn�t go away despite changing 3 jobs in one year. First job as a basic grade pharmacist lasted me 6 months, second job as not-so-basic grade lasted me 18 months, I was told that I was too smart for the job I was doing, checking and counting tablets, current job, quite senior, advising doctors and monitoring budget, been in the job for 12 months. YET, I still feel the same.
Options that I could think of :
A: medical degree, 3 years , PLUS lifetime of on-calls but with satisfaction
B: Management Consulting, Mckinsey advertised in Pharmaceutical Journal, recruiting health care professionals in the health care brand, Long hours and maybe not much satisfaction , will be dealing with issues of acquisition, merging, etc�
C: stay at my current job, have babies, work part-time then return to full time job after 6-7 years. NHS is the only workplace where I can do that
D: Art- study some design degree and work as graphic designer as a hobby, since I am not the bread winner, I can enjoy and relax, it�s my hobby anyway
Woman, career, family� I have to remind myself that I am a woman, I am married and I have to seriously consider possibilities of being a mum. When the latter come into place, all other options will not be an option anymore. Maybe I haven�t not come into terms that I will one day become a mum ( if I choose to) and will not have too much time and energy climbing the career ladder.
All I know is I don�t want to remain as a pharmacist. I have seen too many examples before me of not-getting anywhere.
I am very tired and I am lost . Again, I find myself at a junction �.. I read this article that vocation is about ABC, Ability, Burden and Circumstances� I have a burden for sick and poor, ability not sure, circumstances not sure� to test whether C allows, I plan to complete UCAS form for the intake next year.. and the rest is entirely out of my control. Who knows, I might fail the interview and then, it will clearly be a NO.
Life is like a box of chocolate, you�ll never know what you gonna get�

NOTE: Disregard this I will be editing. I need to get my mind off things.
I thought that this would be an appropriate time to tell you.....
I'm leaving. No, not for good. But I dpn't know when I'll be back. MW2, Hunger, and Scarlet, I will be on as usual to RP, but until I sort thin gs out, I won't be editing. The Capitol Games WILL contiue, and I will post today....a lot today, so it holds you over, my friends. I'll probably be back in a few weeks, maybe less, but I'm having trouble with some stuff, and once my summer starts, I might be back on track.
For those who want to know, the reason that I'm leaving is that a week or 2 back, my grandmother passed away. I need to really try and deal with that before I edit.
I love ( in a totally friendship way) all of you, but I really need to get back on track. Probably the EARLIEST I will be back is next Wednesday, and the lates being...well, never.
I, as many other users have done, have promised to be back. And I swear I will. So long, FOR NOW, my amigos. So long for now.

Here is the full list of winners and some great behind the scenes dirt from Eonline: http://bit.ly/2014SAGWinners
Fun facts...
- My first job was as a "Soda Jerk" at Cone Corners in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. (Cheesy, huh?)
- Every spring, I participate in the World's Largest Trivia Contest in my hometown of Stevens Point, Wisconsin. Out of about 500 teams and 10-12,000 players, we usually finish in the top 100!!! It's 54 straight hours of useless information and I love it. See? I'm not wired right. Just for the record, my team placed 73rd this year. :)
- I am a proud doggie mommy of "Spooner." She's a rescue who was an abused puppy mill mom. I am amazed at the FANTASTIC rescues and shelters we have in West Michigan. If you think you want to add to your family, the joy of a shelter pet in unparalleled!

Getting your teenagers to share their faith can be a challenge. These ideas will help to spark them to action.
1. Get them to start praying for their unreached peers. When teenagers pray for their lost friends, family members, teammates and classmates it creates room in their hearts for compassion for the unreached (Romans 10:1.)
2. Take them on fishing trips. In other words, take them out to actually share the Gospel once a month or so. Jesus did that with his mostly teenaged followers and we can do the same (Matthew 4:19.) Of course we want them to learn to have Gospel conversations and not just making evangelistic presentations.

Common dog paw problems are usually cuts, tears, cracked pads or constant chewing. If you're looking for a way to treat dogs' pads, accelerate the healing process, and stop constant chewers, we have the answers for you.
Let's start with the constant chewers. Anyone who has a dog that chews, bites, or licks their paws knows what I mean.
My dog, Ava, frequently used to have her whole paw in her mouth and would spend ages gnawing at her feet, mainly underneath and in-between the toes. I thought it was just a habit until I found out it was yeast growing deep within her paws which was driving her crazy with itching.
It's actually quiet a common problem for dogs to have yeast on their paws (and ears) especially in the hot and humid months. Dogs sweat from their paws which can make a moist environment that is ideal for yeast to grow. It's also extremely itchy! To address the problem you need to do four things:
Probiotics are a necessary supplement for any dog (or human) suffering from a yeast infection. Probiotics are friendly bacteria that live in the gut and help crowd out bad bacteria and yeast thus providing a natural defense.
When looking for probiotics for dogs you want one that has a wide variety of strains and is specifically made for dogs. You can find more information here. I like NWC Naturals Total-Biotics as it has 14 strains of live probiotics.
See here for some great natural dog shampoos and further information on diet.
Don't you just hate it when your dog cuts or tears his pad?
In an ideal world, they would just rest and let it heal. But, come on, we all know that's not going to happen. They continue to want to run and play, no matter how hard you try to stop them, and of course the wound continually reopens when they do.
Even the pressure and weight from just walking can reopen a wound on the pad. So an alternative way to help with this, is surely a welcome relief from trying to keep your little wriggle-bum still.
Trying to stop them from running is exhausting, let alone trying to keep a clean, dry, bandage on. So let's show you how to accelerate the healing process for your dog's paw. (For cracked pads, go to tips to stop wound reopening).
First, use your own judgement, if it looks like a deep cut or bad tear then take your dog to your vets. Most vets do not stitch small cuts as stitches don't generally hold well on the pads, but your dog may need a course of antibiotics.
If it's just a regular cut, tear or crack then you can follow the steps below:
If your dog licks or chews at the bandage, you can get some Anti-Lick Strips to wrap around the bandage or spray with Bitter Apple. If you are unsure how to bandage your dogs' paw, then take your dog to the vets. Usually a nurse's visit is sufficient to bandage a minor cut.
A good pet first aid kit will contain most of the supplies you need, which you can get from pet stores or from Amazon. To make it easier, I have compiled all the supplies mentioned into the "My Picks" below. Here you can reivew each item just by hoovering over the image and pick and choose any you wish to purchase just by clicking "buy". It will take you directly to your own Amazon account.
After three days you can cut the bandage off but now comes the difficult part.... Keeping the wound from opening up every time your dog walks or runs! Luckily, there are a few things you can do to help.
If the wound keeps re-opening, You can apply a good sealant product. Try either Mushers Secret, EMT Gel, Bag Balm, or DermaGel. They also aid in the healing process by providing protection against infection. If your dog is likely to lick, then try the EMT Spray.
If it starts bleeding again, (and it probably will) you can simply stop the bleeding by applying pressure with some gauze. Don't re-bandage as the air needs to get to wound to heal. Once the bleeding has stopped, take the gauze away and reapply the sealant.
Although your dog's pads are very hardy they do need some kind of protection against the elements when it is very hot or cold out. In summertime the pavements can become extremely hot and will burn your dog's pads if they walk on paved roads.
They also need protection during wintertime from snow, ice and salt. Dogs' paws can also become irritated during wintertime due to salts that are spread on pavements and roads to melt ice. This often can cause irritation to dogs paws. If this becomes a problem for your dog you can always invest in some dog boots (Mutluks) or apply a special foot wax (Musher's Secret).
Again, to make it easy for you to review the products I've mentioned here, I've included them in the below carousel of "recommended paw products". As with the one above, you can reivew the products by hoovering over the image and add any you wish to purchase by clicking "buy". It will take you directly to your own Amazon account.
My dog loves going out in the snow but hates icicles forming
in-between his toes and will limp as soon as it does. First time he did
this I naturally thought he had hurt his paw.
After thoroughly inspecting his paw, I found nothing there but ice and, sure enough, as soon as I removed this, primarily so I could see better, he was back to running around in the snow. That's when I found Musher's Secret and have been using it ever since to protect his pads and to stop the ice forming.
Other common dog paw problems include grass seeds being lodged in your dogs' paws. These frequently cause an infection if not removed. If your dog has been in long grass, check your dogs' paws for grass seeds. While you're at it, you should also check their ears as grass seeds get in there too.
Barley grass seeds are particularly bothersome to dogs.
Barley grass is usually golden in color, you'll notice the grass standing out in a park or field, as in the picture here.
Keeping the fur short on dogs' paws will help to keep grass seeds out as well as to allow you to see clearly. Just trim the fur between the toes as part of your grooming routine.
Most problems with dogs' paws can be handled at home, however, you should consult with your vet if you notice any of the following:
Finally, dog paw problems may be challenging to deal with but these tips and trick should have Fido back running around in less time.

I'm not a fan of the Dirty Springwash. I use the dirty soap bar but this bodywash is more masculine I think. It has a slight minty scent which I don't love and it left my skin not smelling like the wash for very long which is something I don't like. I don't wear perfume so I like a body wash that has some staying power and this one didn't fit the bill! especially for the price is costs. Not a fan.

in which the author has temporary favorites among her progeny

Today's topic is The Short Story Development Queue Workflow, also known as "I said I'd work on the new story, but there was this other story screaming for attention..."
This is also about the unintended consequences of holding myself to a daily half-hour Submissions Procedures session.
It's very simple. During Tuesday's session, I decided which market I wanted to submit a story to next. That's usually the only real question. The question of which story is typically very easy to determine. I look at which stories have been submitted before and are A) still not published, and B) not currently in somebody's slush pile. I pick the one of these that is C) the best fit for the market, and I submit it.
The problem is when the story that satisfies all three requirements also D) needs a lot of work before it gets submitted anywhere new. This is what I figured out during Wednesday's session.
So, "Stand By for Your Assignment" last went out to visit with the editors of the late, lamented Crossed Genres Magazine for their themed issue, "Anticipation." Themed issues come with submission deadlines; submission deadlines inevitably correlate with me finishing things in a big goddamn hurry and, as a result, probably sending them a smidge before they're really ready for prime time.
Which is to say, despite having seen the inside of a slush pile before, this story needs a lot of work before it may be allowed to see the inside of another one.
And I'm not talking about a line-level edit. No. Although that's one of the things it needs. No, what it also needs is cohesiveness of theme. It's got two elements in it that could work really well together: the female protagonist is bearing up under the double-barreled assault of familial expectations and corporate microagressions, and she is undergoing increasingly frequent experiences of a disturbing nature that may be hallucinations or may be genuine invasions of her world by the weird. But the story as it stands doesn't actually tie them together. They're just both in there, the latter as plot and the former as background. And in narrative, as in science, correlation does not equal causation. Narrative can go a long way on correlation alone, but in this story, I think, not far enough. So I need to rearrange some things to make them work together deliberately rather than by accident. And then there are the line-by-line infelicities that need to be cleared up...
And that's why, during today's Submissions Proceedures and Fiction Development sessions, I didn't do my assigned homework (the one about Ellen and the man who was a tree). It's because I did other homework (beginning to revise "Stand By..."). I hope I get credit for the other homework, at least.
In other news! That vaguely parental-like guilt that a writer might feel, where all the attention you spend on one of your "babies" is attention you're not spending on the other "baby" and oh my Gods I am a bad "mother" because I am failing to love all my "babies" equally...? Yeah, that's a thing.

Today all I have to report is that yes, I did manage to submit "Down Wind" to the market with the January 15 deadline on its current submission window. I have done little else of use today, but, darn it, I did that.
It's weird. While there were still some three weeks to go, my thoughts on that story were along the lines of "it sucks it sucks there's too much to fix I can't fix it all I can't even begin to fix it" and I had to calm myself down. But this week, with the deadline looming, I caught myself thinking, "You know, it doesn't actually need that much work. It just needs a once-over and a read-aloud."
The truth was somewhere in between. It took me only about an hour today to finish it up, but the edits weren't all just sentence-sounds-better tweaks. Some edits were ruthless deletions because that sentence isn't adding anything to the story, and that other one is just a rehash of something that's already made clear here. On the print-out, there's a big slash-mark over half a paragraph in the first scene, with a note in the margin saying "Angst! Woe! Cut." One has to trust that the angst and woe will come across without the author plonking the reader on the head with an angst-and-woe stick.
Now I have to figure out what to do next. I have ever so many ideas for new stories from doing my daily freewriting--but I also have a few more stories to dig out of revision hell. We'll see which project successfully auditions for my attention next week.
And over the weekend... all the things I didn't do this week (ahem ahem late fictionette). That's the plan, anyway. Without something big like a roller derby bout to beat me up on Saturday, I should have no problems, right? All I've got is six hours of practice on Sunday. No big deal, right? Riiiiiight.
the fragility of afternoon writing time
Thu 2016-01-07 23:35:09 (single post)
- 1,904 wds. long
I've finally realized: On roller derby evenings, my afternoon shift is really fragile. Yesterday I lost it because of a sudden attack of the sleepies that, honestly, I should have just pushed through--writing, like skating, makes me feel better, if only I can exert myself to beat the inertia. Today? Doctor's appointment. Which always takes longer than expected on both sides of the scheduled appointment time, especially if you're chasing down a prescription and some equipment afterwards that turn out to be out of stock. So then you go make groceries instead. And then it's already 4:00 and you planned to leave for derby at 5:30 and you really, really need some downtime in between...
The doctor's appointment was interesting. Seems around this time last year, out of seemingly nowhere, I started exhibiting freakishly high blood pressure on a consistent basis. Like, Stage 2 Hypertension high. I kept hoping it was just a hiccup and things would return to normal, but after Tuesday morning's dentist appointment got me a reading of something-or-other over 104, I made an appointment to discuss it with a doctor.
The long and the short of it is, I'm going to have to start taking blood pressure medication at the ripe old age of 39. Seriously. Despite my exceedingly active, moderate-drinking, non-smoking lifestyle, my perfectly acceptable blood cholesterol and thyroid numbers, and goodness knows I've never really had cause to worry about my weight despite what the BMI says ("Top 10 Reasons Why the BMI Is Bogus," NPR.org)--well, just goes to show, you can do most everything right and still draw an unlucky lottery ticket. But that's a lesson I should already have learned from my experience with leukemia at age 11, right?
But there's a silver lining here! When I mentioned "self-diagnosed Raynuad's Disease" to the doctor (and we discussed that a little bit, like how often does it happen, how severe is it, etc.), she brightened up and said, "One of the blood pressure medications I could prescribe you also happen to treat Raynaud's! What do you think?" I think it's a low priority, but if it's that easy to roll the two issues into a single solution, hey, let's do it. I could sure do with fewer 7-finger days in the winter, that's for sure.
Anyway, after some deep conversation with the doctor, an EKG reading (also perfectly normal), instructions to make an appointment for an echocardiogram just to make sure, I left the doctor's office at about 2:45 and pointed my car toward my usual pharmacy. Only to find the medication wasn't actually in stock yet--"Come back tomorrow after 1:00 PM"--and neither was an automatic arm-band style blood pressure monitor of an approved brand--"You might just have to try the Safeways and the Walgreens and that"--and so I lost another 45 minutes of afternoon shift to futile attempts to run these doctor's-orders errands. And then, like I said, I went to the grocery.
I'm glad I decided to rest and eat dinner rather than work and snack, though, because roller derby practice consisted of a special clinic led by a D1-level skater and then a scrimmage that beat us all up some good. Also last night's squat workout came back to haunt me. I'm sore and tired and this hot bath with epsom salts plus optional beer is really awesome.
Again, I'll get a little bit of work in on the short story. Just not the two hours I wanted to log. Last night, after posting to the blog, I spent about a half hour just reading through it--which means I didn't just read through it, but instead tweaked sentences here and there. Weird thing about my revision avoidance issues: if I can only convince myself to open up the manuscript and "just start reading," I'll find myself unable to resist doing at least a little revision. So tonight I suppose I'll pick up where I left off.
And tomorrow I have nowhere to be in the evening, except maybe in a holiday party on Puzzle Pirates.
a seven-finger and afternoon nap kind of day
Wed 2016-01-06 23:17:53 (single post)
It's cold out there. It's a 7-finger day. By that, I mean that it's so cold that by the time I got where was driving to, seven of my fingertips had turned pale and numb thanks to something called Raynaud's Disease or, colloquially, "being allergic to the cold." Calling it a "disease" makes it sound worse than it is; it's mostly just annoying. Main problem tonight was, with so many fingertips affected, I couldn't start typing comfortably until I'd clutched my Irish coffee long enough to warm up again.
The drive tonight was from roller derby practice to Boulder's legendary late-night burger establishment, the Dark Horse. They serve delicious food, quite decent drinks, and--this was new to me--they now have wi-fi. So I thought I'd get the blogging done while it was still technically Wednesday.
Today didn't go quite as well as yesterday. For one thing, without something like that dentist appointment to get me out of bed early, I wasn't up and moving until about 9:30 AM. I rationalized that this was fine, I was a tired athlete who'd stayed up until 1:00 AM the night before and really needed her sleep. And it still would have been fine if--and this is the second thing--I had managed to get my afternoon shift done, rather than collapsing into an afternoon nap. I guess I needed it; my eyes started burning and squinting, and it began to be actively painful to remain upright.
I am not dismissing the possibility that this was a physical manifestation of avoidance. My next task was short story revision, and I have pathological avoidance issues around short story revision. But it's very likely that last night's roller derby practice was a factor, too. Tonight's as well. Both travel teams' coaches are serious about conditioning, which means lots of cardio and strength training and metabolic workouts and off-skates exercises and endurance til you puke. (Metaphorically. My body doesn't tend to do the puke reaction to extreme exertion. Instead it just decides to stop bothering with other functions, like swallowing and breathing.) And, lest you think being married to the All Stars coach is somehow an advantage--it's not. It just means he tries to get me to do conditioning workouts at home, too.
It's going to take me a few weeks to adjust to this level of activity, is what I'm saying. And there are things I'm going to have to change about the rest of my life--I can't both stay up until 1:00 AM and get up at 7:45 AM every day, for instance. At least I've got a solid scheduling plan for getting the daily writing done, even if some days I don't quite implement it.
Anyway, the result is I'm trying to get my "afternoon shift" done now, between 10 PM and 1 AM after practice. And because I know I have a tendency to just say "eff it, I'm going to bed" after roller derby practice, I took myself out where bed wouldn't be a temptation. Hence the trip to the Dark Horse. Besides, it was a convenient way to make sure I got some protein down me. Kind of important after the kind of workout I've had.
I don't know I'll get my full five hours in today, but I will get SOME work on the short story in after I post this. If all I do is reread it (for the first time in two weeks) and decide what the next concrete task is, that'll let me close down the day with a sense of accomplishment.

OK! So. First off, I've finally posted the Friday Fictionette for January 1. It's called "The Wine Cellar That Wished" and it's sort of kind of an Edgar Allan Poe fanfic don't judge me. It's also sort of humor and sort of kind of horror. Hey, I believe in truth in advertising.
Secondly: Today really was a proper Tuesday. Yesterday was a Monday during which nothing much got done and the dirty dishes were really compelling, but today I got to work. Woke up in time to do Morning Pages before the dentist appointment (which went well, thank you). Got home in time to have breakfast and start my morning shift at 10:00 AM. Took care of some necessary household administration tasks during my lunch break. Started my afternoon shift around 2:00 PM. Left for roller derby practice around 5:15 PM with the satisfaction of knowing I had logged five hours and had left no writing task undone other than this blog post right here, which I am writing now.
Basically, I got my butt into gear and I worked like a writer who writes for a living. Then I survived my first A team practice of the 2016 season. Writing and roller derby. That's pretty much how my days go. How they're supposed to go, anyway.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow going about the same. Only instead of the dentist I've got volunteer reading, instead of A team practice I have B team practice, and instead of spending the majority of my work day on fictionette catch-up I'll spend the majority of my afternoon shift revising "Down Wind." It's almost ready to submit, y'all! And still ten days until the submission deadline!
So this week is off to a fantastic start, is all I really have to say.
(I'd say "this year," but I don't want to jinx it.)
do the one thing, then do the next thing
Fri 2015-12-18 00:10:38 (single post)
Today's revision session was all about making the story's first protagonist and her wife real, living, breathing characters, with interests and dreams and day jobs and food preferences and families. Not all of the above can appear in a story that's only some 1,500 to 2,000 words long, but even just a few sentences alluding to their full, richly detailed lives can make the difference between that and vague character-shaped variables in a story-shaped equation.
One of the biggest frustrations of story revision is the general free-floating sense that the story as it stands is crap and I don't know how to even begin to make it better. I don't always know that's what I'm feeling, is the weird thing. It is such an unpleasant feeling that I push it away, unwilling to admit or even to become aware that this is what I'm feeling. So it gets translated into an even more general sense--a sense that is yet one more step removed--of vague unhappiness and malaise and avoidance.
Once I figured out that was where my head was at, I gritted my teeth and forced myself to focus in. What made the story crap? What were its problems? List them. Be specific. Then pick one and make solving that problem the focus for today's revision session. Thus, today's goal of turning Malika and Cheryl into fully realized characters.
What makes this hard to do is the sense that time is slipping away from me. I only alloted two hours to work on the story today, and I only managed some 45 minutes instead. I got through my morning shift by noon or not much later than, but all my lunchtime tasks just streeeeeeetched ooouuuuuut until it seemed to take forever to get back to work. So my frustration changed from "there's so much wrong with the story and I don't know where to begin" to "there's so much wrong with the story and I'll never have time to fix it all."
But then it's not like this story is on a deadline right now. Well, it sort of is, in that the place I want to send it is only open to submissions until January 15. But I couldn't send this piece to them even if it was ready tomorrow because I already sent them something else last week. I can't send this one in until that one gets rejected. And, who knows, that one might not even get rejected, wouldn't that be nice?
So. No deadline. So no stress. That's what I keep telling myself. No stress. Just take your time and solve the one problem that's in front of you right now. Really, for the most part, that's all anyone can do ever. Do the one thing, then do the next thing. It's expecting ourselves to do all the things at once that causes all that unnecessarily stress.
I know this. Doesn't stop me stressing though.
hard work is hard you guys

Finally got around to revisions on "Down Wind" today, with the result that I'm confused and annoyed and in despair. Well, OK, it's not that bad, but--this is not simple fix territory. This is hard, frustrating, mind-boggling work territory. And the darn thing's only 1400 words long! Well, 1750 now. Good thing? Bad thing? Unknown at this time.
The story is very short and cycles between three different characters' points of view. Right there we have potential problems. I received feedback that the scene segues were a little confusing; the reader didn't easily clue in that we'd moved from one scene to another. This is probably because I'd tried to be "clever." I was trying to do this sort of pivot maneuver on a word or concept that two adjacent scenes had in common, like referring to the prospect of a character "leaving" somewhere or someone in both the last sentence of one scene and the first sentence of the next. But while I was busy doing this, I was failing, to some extent, to make clear that we had in fact moved on to another character.
Solution 1: White-space scene breaks! ...which, no, because some of these scenes are more like "scenelettes," barely two paragraphs long. Separating them by white space would be just awkward and annoying.
Solution 2: Some sort of "meanwhile, back at the ranch" lead-in to each scene! ...which, maybe, but runs the risk of sounding hokey if done badly. And even if done well, that lead-in would represent a significant percentage of the scene it's part of.
Solution 3: Eff it, that reader who gave me that feedback was just silly and wrong! ...which, well, NO. I'm often tempted to respond that way to negative feedback, and it's really not a good habit to get into. That way lies golden word syndrome and no one wanting to critique my stuff because of all the unhelpful push-back. Not going there, if I can help it! Besides, even if the reader is dead wrong, there's often useful revision pointers to be unearthed in trying to figure out how they got so wrong.
Solution 4: Still looking for one. Probably some combination of all of the above, though, even Solution 3 in careful moderation, in proportions to be determined on a case by case basis.
Also, on the reread I am spotting theme and character depth and other very ambitious things that I want to salt onto the stew, like the idea that the pigeon singularity really is all about keeping things and people together by infinitesimally slowing the expansion of the universe, and can I show that in each scene, and also these people have lives and background and history and can't I show that in each scene by just adding maybe one more sentence per, only it has to be the right sentence that also plays into the keep-people-together theme, and can I maybe do something meta with this, like right in the very structure of the story?
Y'all, revision is hard. I do not understand people who enjoy the revision stage. I really wish I did. What I actually enjoy are those couple seconds right as the revision ends. That's the bit where I sit back, all pleased with myself, and say, "Yes, I have made it perfect. Or very nearly so, anyway. Damn I'm good at this." The long hours of brain-wringing work involved getting to those couple seconds, those are not nearly as enjoyable except in the sort of abstract "hard work that I know will be worth it" way.
Breakthroughs tomorrow? I sure as hell hope so.
mothballing the mourning wardrobe

Today was indeed more productive than yesterday. "Caroline's Wake" got a small amount of fine-tuning (turned out to need less than I anticipated); then it got sent out into the world to meet a new bunch of editor-type people. It feels good, having sent it out again. It's what a writer's supposed to do. And it occasions new hope.
The common advice is, "Never let a manuscript sleep over." That is to say, the moment a rejection comes in, take that story and send it somewhere else immediately. Have a list of places you want to send it, and just send it to the next place on your list. This is very smart from a business perspective: your story, once completed, is a product, and you need to keep trying to sell that product. But it's also smart from an emotional standpoint. It helps the writer end the mourning period and start afresh.
Of course there's a mourning period. Rejections occasion grief. They signal the death of a hope. No, not the Death of Hope, nothing that grand or melodramatic--but the demise of a very particular hoped-for outcome. There was a possibility that the story would be published by a specific market; the rejection signals that the possibility is no more.
So, OK, a writer can grieve. But a writer can also move on. Submitting the story to the next place is how to do that. Also working on the next story.
The next story is "Down Wind," which needs more of an overhaul than "Caroline" did. It needs section breaks and more of a textual differentiation between the three characters' points of view. It probably needs more than that, but I won't know until I pull it out and read it over. Which is next on my agenda!

Rejoice! I have finally replaced my camera. I have also gone grocery shopping and returned home with, among other things, fruitcake fixings. Now I have combined BOTH bits of good news into ONE splendid photo, which you can see here.
Fruitcake! Will contain almonds, currants, green (golden) raisins, candied ginger, strawberries, and dates. I will decide on the booze tomorrow when I actually process everything and start it soaking. It will probably be scotch or bourbon, considering what's currently in the cabinet.
Camera! Currently contains date stamp. This will be adjusted shortly.
The camera is a Nikon Coolpix S3700. It was on sale at Target, and further marked down as a repackaged item. Now, I didn't go into Target thinking about cameras. I was shopping for strings of holiday lights to donate to my roller derby league's holiday parade float (Because we're going to skate in a local holiday parade, of course). But the holiday section was right next door to the electronics section, which reminded me that I'd been meaning to replace my previous camera, it being ten years old and furthermore having recently ceased to function.
So this new camera boasts 20.1 Megapixels, which is a revolution in comparison with my previous. Its view screen is breathtakingly sharp--again, comparing it with my old camera. It's zoom function seems darn near lossless. It has a function list longer than my arm, and--ooh!--an auto-extending lens. Look, I'm over the moon just because this camera doesn't need a rubberband to hold its battery case closed, OK? My standards are somewhat generous here.
Mainly I'm just pleased that my options for Friday Fictionette covers are no longer restricted to A. find Creative Commons (commercial use OK) or public domain images online, or B. take a really crappy photo with my flip phone.
So there's your happy technology content. As for writing content, well, soon as I'm done with this-here, I shall be logging the most recent adventures of "...Not With a Bang, But a Snicker" in the Submission Grinder and in my personal log as well. I got a response to its latest submission just this weekend, but I haven't even opened the email yet because I've been drowning in NaNoWriMo writing and NaNoWriMo catch-up. If it's a rejection, I'll be figuring out where to send that sucker yet. If it's not a rejection, expect some crowing. Next I'll be spending a little revision time with "Down Wind" to get it ready to to go and meet some very nice people itself. I think that's enough for a well-rounded late night, don't you?

Behold! Two short stories went winging to their respective targets. Two of them! And all my writing for the day, except for this blog post, done before five pee-em. Folks, I am on fire.
John very kindly allowed me to read "Caroline's Wake" to him, which, given its length, meant the donation of more than half an hour plus some engaged discussion. He is a fantastic writer-support spouse. All the kudos. It was his first time experiencing this particular story, so he was able to offer a fresh perspective on whether it made sense, whether the characters were acting like real people, and whether things the right emotional weight was present. These are all things I worry about when a lot of slicing and dicing goes on between drafts. While "killing your darlings" it's possible to also kill some hard-working support structures. When vital pillars and buttresses go missing, it helps to have someone around to notice.
Speaking of killing your darlings, he also suggested I cut the final paragraph. The one about the crocus heralding a mild winter. Dammit. OK. I cut it, because the requesting editor said the exact same thing (or at the very least she suggested that it shouldn't be the final paragraph) and when two separate readers notice the same problem then maybe it's a good idea to listen to them. Dammit.
(Some darlings are very darling. Alas.)
Anyway, the story went into the email, and very soon afterward I had a reply full of excitement and glee, which was a relief. I'd secretly feared, because I am prone to Writer's Weasel Brain, that she'd be all what, this old thing? Not interested anymore. You missed your chance. But of course that was not the case. Weasel Brain is always wrong. Two reliable things about Weasel Brain: It'll always have something to say, and it'll always be wrong.
As expected, the title of the submission to Alien Artifacts got changed. When that story went to The First Line, it was called "The Rapture of the Santiago Women", as a nod to the famous Roman abduction event known as the Rape of the Sabine Women". Problem was, the allusion really only was skin deep. It was clever but not resonant. So I changed it to "Comin' For to Carry Me Home" both for the literal meaning within the plot and the play on homing device.
(And now you have the song stuck in your head, and my work here is done.)
Also, the first line got changed, as its original first line is best considered the exclusive property of The First Line. Which mean the little boy's name had to be changed, since it had been part of the first line. And then a whole bunch of other stuff got changed until, given that the story's only about 1300 words long, the revision really merited a whole new version number under my private and terribly subjective file-naming system. So Alien Artifacts gets to see Homing Device v2.0, or maybe, given the last print-out and line-edit pass, v2.2.1
Fair warning: I may just take the rest of the week off. Friday is fifth Friday, which means no Friday Fictionette is due. And tomorrow is a Halloween party on skates, which means I have to put the finishing touches on my costume. (John has been helping me with that, too. All the kudos.) So if I get very little done for the rest of the week, it's OK. I done a whole thunder of stuff between last week and now. I can take a small holiday.

Dr. Wadsworth and his staff were wonderful! I was visiting family from out of state and came down with bronchitis. The Dr. even though he was extremely busy he and his staff made time to see me. I would recommend hi to everyone. He was kind and funny and if I lived in Hernando he would be my doctor for sure!

Talks to me as an equal and a friend
Some may know what I'm talking about when I refer to visiting a physician and being talked to as if you could in no way be on an intellectual level high enough to hold a conversation remotely interesting, much less understand them trying to explain the functions of the human body. Having many years experience in emergency medicine it's quite frustrating. And you don't want to appear to be "that guy" with your first words out saying I'm a veteran paramedic and understand, please continue. Dr William Wadsworth never did that. Neither did his father before him. I actually never referred to my career until after a couple visits. Dr William talks and listens to me like a friend. He can be rather hurried on occasion, but after inheriting a thriving multi-generational family practice from his father which he had been working alongside, adding a partner to help with the pt load then having that Dr. leave him stranded with no notice to go to a larger clinic in another area... Well, he's handled it quite well. He made a few changes to his walk in only practice, including allowing pts to come in early an sign in for later to cut back on wait times considerably. And I can honestly say I don't believe he's had a vacation in 2-3 years. So if he seems very direct an to the point on occasion, he's not being rude, just gettin down to business. Some pts aren't used to that and want to sit and go on for 15 about things that have no bearing on their current health, but if you're the guy with the fever in the next room, you'll be thankful.

Very unfriendly staff and doctor. Wadsworth has terrible bedside manner. Dishonest business practices as well.

I started Mr and Mrs T Plus Three as my creative outlet, my little place in the world. It was something just for me, something I could be proud of-something my family could be proud of for me. And then it grew…Other mums, other parents started tuning in and now thousands of readers visit my blog each month to see what we're up to. (I still have to pinch myself!)
I'm a mummy blogger-but with a twist. With two teenagers and a toddler, I'm covering (well trying to!) all bases-one moment discussing career paths the next arranging play dates and dressing up. It's a challenge-but I wouldn't have it any other way.
Mr and Mrs T Plus Three is a lifestyle and parenting blog, collating mummy advice, recipes and style tips. Featuring my own photography plus frank reviews and fresh perspectives, I love sharing and connecting with others.

Mr T
My hubby, my love. My number one fan and partner in crime, this delicious man still cracks me up every single day (even if our three roll their eyes and insist we are most definitely not funny)
Mrs T
Lover of pretty things like pixie crowns and fairy wings, usually wearing a splash of red lippy-I'm trying very hard to become a natural gym bunny. Oh so very hard…
Plus three
Lewis, 18, when he's not off training in the Army Cadet Force, he can be found in his bedroom buried under a pile of X-box games and Jaffa cake boxes. Ah, teenagers.
Holly, 17, my musical star (she gets it from me!) one day Holly WILL be famous. Until then she is attached to her mobile phone which may need to be surgically removed at some point.
Rose, 4, the apple of everyone's eye, oh so very sweet and a ball of pure mischief. Rose has a busy schedule from Waterbabies to French class. She's such a cultured cutie!
