Dena's Blog

A daily/weekly/whenever I feel like it blog for fantasy writer Dena Landon

Wednesday, May 07, 2003

Anyone who is reading this blog needs to hightail it over to Abyss & Apex, http://klio.net/abyssandapex/, and read the latest issue. Now. Cuz I loved it ;) I think my favorite story was Nightdweller, but it's a close tie with How Greta Dies. And, yes, one of my friends is an editor, but it's free! And better than doing work at work, wouldn't you agree? :P I finally got the chance to read it today (after putting it off much in the way I hoard chocolates for just the right moment) and was mucho impressed.

That said, I also wrote four pages in Magpie today - yeah, me! - got a very good crit from eBear (not meaning to be coy with Sanlar, sorry. He's just not the type to sit around going - this is my evil plan to dominate the world. Gonna have to work on that) and posted one crit of my own. Need to do a couple of more.

Taught sculpting today and am feeling pleasantly exercised and sore. Am planning on going to dance class tonight, but we'll see. One of my friends choregraphed Cabaret for the Longwood Players so I'm trying to get a group of friends together to go see it this weekend. Among other plans ;)

Last night was Bible study, which was fun. I didn't cry this time - thank God (eep! no pun intended!) - in spite of the fact that I'm suspiciously emotional right now...Good discussion on the last chapter of John, but I think I talk too much. Elaine thanked God for my "exhuberance" in the closing prayer. Hmm...I can't help it if I have opinions. About everything. Usually in a very vocal way. And afterwards myself and three of my friends got in discussions about ex-boyfriend problems (all of them were contacted by their exes this week in varying degrees of weird ways) and decided that it's time for another "let's go out and get trashed, er, have fun" this Saturday night :)

John (my agent) called me on his cell. He's on the road for the next four days, hoping to read Soul Stone and the revised Carver on planes, and will call me next week. But he didn't want me to think he was ignoring my call yesterday. Are there any men out there reading this? That's called consideration. Learn it.

:P

And I took one of those stupid e-mail forward tests and discovered that :

Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile,
> rather impulsive personality; a natural leader who's quick to make
> decisions, though not always the right ones. They see you as bold and
> adventuresome, someone who will try anything once; someone who takes chances and
> enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the
> excitement you radiate.

Hmm...any comments from the peanut gallery on that one? :)
