BEARD!

BEARD!!!

Feels like its been a while since I posted anything (and if the proportion of russian spam comments to feedstat followers is any indication, I've lost some readers and gained some spamming popularity). Sadly, there isn't much to report in the life and times of moi. I got a rejection from BrainHarvest, so I'm browsing for a market for a 750 word story (small market). I'm touching up Button Pusher to send out this week, and I still have that novel project rolling around in my head. While not always a flood, writing is going pretty well these days, so I'm not complaining. I'm working on the philosophy that if you write enough and then follow through on pushing it out, eventually you'll hit the right stride that results in publishing. Then other people will get to see the stories that rumble around inside your brain and feel a little more secure that no matter how messed up they think the universe is, you think its even worse.

Or something like that.

Only other thing I have to say to that is "BEARD!"

About mcummings

Michael is happily married and the proud father of three girls. He acknowledges that that means that as soon as they hit their teens, the bathroom will be lost forever and his hypertension will go through the roof as he hunts down a shotgun. In the meantime, he enjoys tinkering with Linux (former Gentoo dev, w00t), fixing his frankenparts PC, and attempting to write stories that are worthy of reading (a ways to go on that one). Its nice to have aspirations at least :)

  1. The beard and the Russian spam can only mean one thing.

    You are becoming a true Bolshevik, мой друг!

  2. I agree with Dan (howdy, Dan!).

    In addition; lets not forget that 1 million monkeys typing on
    keyboards all day long for 100 years; still would not grow such a nice beard.

  3. And I was so ready for a lugradio reference…

  4. I only learned about this blog because I’ve got Dan’s Chimera application pointed at your face.

  5. I think all monkeys already have beards. Is this one of these men+winter=beard things? Jeremy and Dave Shaklee tried that in December, but neither one stuck with it.

    Of Heinlein’s rules of writing,
    “2. You must finish what you write.” and “5. You must keep the work on the market until it is sold.” seem relevant.

    Does the last sentence above mean that the themes of your writing is worse than my most pessimistic thoughts? That’s scary.
