My window of opportunity for unadulterated work is nearly up, as my mother in law leaves on Saturday. In the three weeks she’s been here, though, I’ve revised a novel, written an Old Races short story and six Gryphon Beach stories, worked on a novella, developed a synopsis, and decided on what two projects I’m going to be writing synopses for. And there’s still two weeks left in June. o.O I have a bunch of small stuff I want to get finished before the month is out. I want to…

Internet powers, activate!
Originally posted by at internet powers, activate!Okay, people. I need you to take this viral, and fast. We know someone in upstate New York who needs a good custody lawyer ASAP.

Please note: there is a stupidity with the chat room where it only allows a certain number of characters, so it’s very likely story sentences will be broken into two lines sometimes. Sorry about that. Also: I would ask that you don’t chat much during the actual storytelling. There’ll be a few minutes between stories to do so, I’m sure. And to reiterate, if you’re late, you’ll miss…
Labyrinth
Yesterday the Irish Film Institute had a free film day, for which their ostensibly family film was “Labyrinth”! Ostensibly because there was one, count ’em, one kid in the audience, and everybody else was in their twenties or older. The guy next to me had never seen it. His girlfriend had brought him to it. He thought it was brilliant. :) Me, I figure somebody at the IFI noticed that the Cineworld showing of Labyrinth a few weeks ago sold out, and that they went “Dude, we should show this…
