Submission time... DONE!! And the Master Regenerates!!!

Okay so it is off to my editor, another Carolyn Gray book.  Here's hoping Loose-Id will accept it.   Just gotta wait now--my editor is suffering from severe eye problems so I send her a 200,000 + word book--snort.  I am cruel.  But she was excited about it, especially since it isn't in first person like Red was (sigh). 

I have vowed next one will be half the length. AND a hell of a lot less fluffy. Dark, even. YEAH. DARKNESS FALLS....   Since most people ask for Lee's story, and I've sorta told my editor I was working on that next for them, I guess it will be Lee's.  

I am enjoying a BBC Wales show, MERLIN.  It is just gorgeous, makes me want to go to Wales with N (pout). Amber just learned that the series has been bought outright as is for showing in the US--that is awesome!  I am sad there are only 13 parts, but I do like a tale with a definite end.  

I did something stupid today.  With an armful of frozen pizzas for the son, and a jug of milk, my heel somehow caught on the crack in the driveway and I went flying. PIzza and milk flew (did not explode, whew) but I hit palms-first, then somehow both arms and knees(?).  *cries*  Super-ouch.  I have a feeling tomorrow will not be such a nice day.

And now...it is time to introduce THE MASTER 2!!!!   Somehow, the Master 1 got out of the cage.  Possibly, he was swallowed by Shelby--her prey instinct is quite healthy, and I am sure...well, in any case, the Master has now regenerated into THE MASTER 2...and here he is!!!!  Cute, isn't he?

Huzzah for getting things off to editors and for regenerating masters! Boo for falling over!

Yeah, am sore today. SO STUPID!!! At least the milk didn't explode--I've dropped one before and it is rather dramatic.

Hope you are feeling better today. Have you heard from the library yet???

I have not heard back from the library, alas. I really need to branch out on my job searches. I just don't know what else I'd like to doooo. *sigh* This grown up stuff is nonsense.

And exploding milk bottles certainly sounds dramatic!

Oh man, yeah, it sucks to be grown up. I can so attest to that (as I stare at a dental bill I simply cannot pay this month after all).

It is depressing.

what's this new you've submitted to Loose Id about?

[identity profile] paragraphs.livejournal.com 2008-11-17 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
It is another m/m fic, won't say much more yet. LOL. It is not related to my first one though...but the next will be it seems. :) I just, uh, need a story. LOL!

Congrats for sending your book to the editor! *throws confetti*

Merlin is too cute, isn't he? *throws kisses*

Falling - not so good. Do not repeat! *throws cushion* just in case. *g*

The Master is dead. Long live The Master. *throws mice treats*

Yeah, that was such a helpless feeling--my inclination was to save the pizza. That is stupid. (They were frozen thank goodness). It HURT! *kicks driveway* I consider myself lucky to not be fragile--a hit on the right arm like that could've snapped something.

I like Merlin! I watched the first four last night--will enjoy more tonight, definitely. I thought at first that they really drove Arthur's character to 'good guy' status too quick, but then learned that there are only 13 episodes so that makes more sense. Too bad--it is a very fun show, and the scene where Lancelot slays the hippogriff (which is BRILLIANT)--I had to play it over and over again. The CGI on this show is beyond belief. Not to mention the setting--ohmygosh the castle!!!! JUST WOW!!!!

Please be careful. :| *hugs* Hope it's not a bad day today.

The new Master is cute. :)

You're finally going to work on Lee. That's great. Will he be first person again? haha.

I am sore but okay--not broken, I can handle broken.

He is very cute! I love his tail and ears! Darn mice have really grown on me as pets. I enjoy watching them--I just have to keep them in bathroom on the dresser. Safe(?) from the huskies, and male mice do tend to be rather stinky, so I keep a blanket on top of their grill on top. Which makes it triply confusing that the first Master got out. Weird.

I keep askign the huskies if they ate him but they are not confessing.

Aww, cute! And congrats on the book! And yeah, ouch. I feel for you. But this little cute and cuddly thing *points above*, do you really call it the Master?? *giggle*

[identity profile] paragraphs.livejournal.com 2008-11-17 04:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, he is indeed! We also have the Doctor, who is white with gray. He is so cute! He happens to be my favorite. The first one up and the last one to bed--doesn't need to sleep much I suppose. The other two are Q and Andy. Andy is the meanest. Q is the fluffiest one.

I need to write faster--I don't hold much hope though that I'll hear back soon. It is a huge book (again--but they really like to get long ones) and with my editor's ouchy eyes, well... here's hoping it will be before the end of the year that i hear back.

[identity profile] verasteine.livejournal.com 2008-11-17 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Aww... a whole family of them!

Since you won't hear back soon *evil grin*, can I prod you about your stopwatch fic??

[identity profile] paragraphs.livejournal.com 2008-11-17 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
*whistles*

Ahh Stopwatch? Um...at the moment, I feel no great urge to continue my pursuit of fanfiction. It and I just don't mix well. I haven't officially dropped out but am considering it.

[identity profile] verasteine.livejournal.com 2008-11-18 10:38 am (UTC)(link)
Ooh, that's a pity, I really like your story! You should let them know as soon as you decide, though, b/c they'll want to replace you. I hope you do continue!

Ouch. Falling is not good.

As for the master, maybe this one is the Peter Pratt Paster, and the previous one was the Roger Delgado Master?

*nods* Nick knows for certain, but sounds highly probable to me. LOL.

Falling was STUPID!

[identity profile] orange-avocado.livejournal.com 2008-11-17 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, regenerating Master. I'm going to start naming my plants after DW time lords - that way, when they inevitably perish under my black thumb, I can just buy a new one and say it regenerated.

Ouch on falling, and Congrats on the book!

[identity profile] paragraphs.livejournal.com 2008-11-17 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Yup, there's the ticket--way to do it. LOL.
