A Miscellany of Stuff

[naomi_jay]

Here is your linkage for today (not necessarily in order of importance or relevance):
 

Lovecraft's Favourite Words. I can't believe "squamous" only came up once! I think I probably need to include that word in a story pretty soon. (Do we need a daily Lovecraft Link? I'm really tempted to make one day a week Lovecraft Day on my blog, just for shits and giggles.)

My Static Movement anthology, Serve in Heaven, Reign in Hell, is up to about 55k. Static Movement shoot for 70k in order to go to print, so there's still room for stories. If you're working on one, let me know. I know a couple of people were thinking about it and I don't want to pressure anyone, but we are approaching critical mass or something.

I'm being interviewed by my fellow Damnation Books author, Fiona Dodwell, today. She's asking me about DEMONISED and my advice for writers. I don't really feel the most qualified to give out advice, but luckily I recently read Stephen King's On Writing, so I just borrowed some from him,

Tyhitia Green over at Obfuscation of Reality is interviewing me about NIGHT AND CHAOS, and running a giveaway too, so that's worth checking out if you like free stuff.

And that's it! The only question that remains is whether I'm good and eat the delicious salad I bought to work with me, or bad and go down to Costa Coffee for muffins and paninis. Important stuff, people!

Argh... Those anthologies fill up so quickly. I am writing something for Serve in Heaven, Reign in Hell- and it's giving me a hell of a lot of trouble... everything seems wrong. (I'm even starting to suspect the characters are laughing at me, not that I'm crazy or anything).

Also, Lovecraftian Day would be awesome. When It becomes popular, will it be made a public holiday so we can ave a day off in the week? (will use any excuse to get out of work)

I know! There are so many I want to write things for, I'm neglecting my serious projects, lol.

Submissions for Serve in Heaven are slowing down now, so I'm sure there's plenty of time for you to shut those damn characters up and get them written! If you have a rough idea of how long your story will be, I can hold a place for you.

And yes, we should totally have a weekly public Lovecraft holiday. Just one more reason I must rule the world.

You are awesome in ways that makes Awesome a jealous little toad. I'm aiming for 3,500 - 4,000, though there may be a little more.

And when you rule the world, I shall make sure to remind you of these things you promise. As long as you don't have me poked with sticks.

^_^ You're welcome! I'll make sure there's some room left for you - at the moment there's plenty, so you should be fine! Just give me a shout when you're nearly finished.

You can be one of my chief minions, which means you get to do the poking of lesser minions.
