Laughter is the Best Medicine Blogfest...

So I'm totally unprepared for the Laughter blogfest, but I figure the reasons for being unprepared are sort of amusing so I'll just list them, but first a little intro to me:

My name is Artemis, or alternatively, Auntie Waguli... both of these may or may not be preceded by 'Crazy' depending on where I am in writing a first draft/editing finished drafts or submitting...

My Current Job: Biological Reintroduction Specialist with an Emphasis on Equine Maintenance, Reproduction and Behavior Modification (what that means: I shovel poop and work with/train horses from birth to adulthood)

So on with the excuses as to why I have no 'joke' to post...


I've been editing Thornbriar... and with only one hand, because the other one has been tied to the chair to keep me from trying to send out a shoddy query letter too early... you know you've sent them too...

I've also been repeatedly opening this short story I submitting to an online magazine, just so I can look at it... they sent the document back with editors notes... red stuff everywhere... it's AWESOME... like, a REAL editor edited something I wrote... and seemed to like it... *swoons over the red ink*

I've been bottle feeding a baby kitten... and apparently spoiling him rotten... so rotten that you can probably smell him from wherever you are...

I've been manically flipflopping from WIP to WIP... you know what I mean? You're working on one WIP, but you find yourself thinking about another one... or accidentally writing the names of characters from another WIP into the WIP you're working on, and wondering if the WIP you're working on is really worth anything, and maybe you ought to just trash that WIP and start working on the other WIP, although that WIP is a genre that's all over the market and maybe agents/publishers with think it's 'been done' when you go to submit it... and maybe you ought to stick with the WIP you're working on because how many YA zombie-fallen angel-mermaid love triangle books are out there? I mean, the market is BEGGING for something like that. So carry on, by all means. Some day they will hail you as a pioneer in writing...

And that is why I didn't do my homework. Have a great day everyone!
