A Thousand Apologies...

To anyone following this blog. I know the silence has been long. I am very sorry.

To say that Real Life has bitten me in the butt would be like saying that the Great White delicately nibbles its prey to death; frankly, from job troubles to family illness to being swamped with line edits from both of my writing careers, it's hard to imagine anything that could have gone wrong that didn't, these past two months.

I will try to do better. Promise. For now, have this:




Which expresses my mood perfectly at the moment. And if you do/did like this blog and are reading this, please comment and let me know. I'm more likely to post more if I know someone's listening. Reading. Whatever.

The Bane of my Existence

Godammit. What is with my emails?

For some reason my Outlook account is refusing to let me send any emails to one of the publishers that I've contracted a story to. They can email me, but all my emails to them (and I've tried various email addresses) get returned by a the mail administrator as rejected by a remote server (whatever the crap that means).

I've got a different email account with GMX, which is the email I use for this blog as it happens, and I've managed to return the contract to the publisher using that. But when I attempted to send a submission to them through that second account (Ruby Slippers, the one I've just finished) it apparently didn't download correctly for them.

WHY ME/NOW? Argh.

I know I'm just rambling to myself here, but if the Cyber Gods would hear me and answer my prayer by fixing this, I would be forever grateful.
