MIA
Hey everyone. Remember me?
I think it’s safe to say that my time of being something of a regular in the online writing circles has come to an end. I knew that making the change from freelancing to 9-5ing would result in that but it had to be done. Of course, this means that I am behind of new anthology guidelines, the success of friends and tons of blog reading and Twitter updates. (Wow, that almost sounds like a job in itself).
I am beginning to find a groove for myself as far as a schedule is concerned. While writing time is few and far between (mostly lunch breaks and every now and then at night), I am beginning to value it so much more. Also, oddly enough, this new 9-5 schedule makes acceptances much sweeter.
For instance, I was on a high for about 2 days when I received word that my story “The Mannerisms of Runners” has been accepted into 2010’s 52 Stitches.
Meanwhile, my endless pimping of Debris continues. Check out the interview over at one of my old freelancing haunts Freelance Writerville.
And as always, for any of you that may have purchased it already, your comments and reviews are appreciated.
Now back to writing…it could very well be the only writing I get done this week…

Congrats on the 52 acceptance. I’m tapped of horror ideas of late. NaNo and Horsemen Antho has my full attention.

Nice interview, Barry. Good luck with further adjustments to the new gig.

Congrats on the acceptance, Barry. Why did God make days so short?

if we only didn’t feel the need to sleep on occasion, think of what we could get done.

Congrats on the acceptance, man! It’s odd at first to feel out of the loop, but you’ll find a groove. For it all being so new in terms of schedule, I’d say you’re doing a hell of a job to find any time for yourself. Here’s to more of that!
