Em's Turn...

Here are some oldies but goodies.

I used to sing these to Em when she was a baby.

Enjoy!

NEWS FLASH!!!

I've just had a message that I'll find out this week about my new editor at MLR Press.

Also I will be getting a contract for Experimentals: Blessed With A Curse.

PS: This is the song with three awesome lines which gave me that great story idea.

Yeah the one I lost.

I'm Having One Of Those Days...

I'm having one of those days when Murphy's Law seems to be running rampant in my life. It's all the little shit that goes wrong that makes you want to bang your head against the wall for hours at a time. I should add it's nothing major happening just stuff that adds up to be a bog fat pain in the arse.

Come with me if you will while I share: my house phones died so I had to replace them (nothing is made to last these days). The new phones while they look good are crackling and I have no clue why.

I still haven't heard who my new editor is at MLR - but I do know that someone is reading my stuff so hopefully soon I will hear something (we all know how much I love waiting - LOL). I have had contact with the EIC so I know I will eventually get somebody.

I was listening to a song the other day and I got a great idea for a story so I quickly jotted down my idea and then promptly lost the notebook with the idea in it. - (How can I lose a notebook?) I have no clue where it went to and I never found it while I spring cleaned my house out over the weekend.

I am trying to book my stay at a Sydney hotel for a meet I am going to in October and the place is never heard of it even though the Meet is at there hotel (why don't people tell other people what's happening so at least one person each shift knows what the hell is going on?) So now I had to email them and I am waiting to hear back from them while they sort it out on their end.

The good news is I am still reworking Windblown Kisses: My Knight in Tarnished Armour ( I am going back and revising the last 10K I just reworked to double check the head hopping).

PS: The picture I posted is here

 just because I thought it was HOT!!!

This is what I did today...

Today Emily and I registered for the Oz M/M Meet 2013, and later on this afternoon when Em gets home from work we will book or accommodation and organise our flights.

Other than that, I've been working like mad on Windblown Kisses: My Knight in Tarnished Armour. I have made it to 46K, which totally blows me away. This re write is going way better than I thought it would and I can tell you I am so over head hopping. As strange as it seems when I originally wrote this story I gave every single character (whether they be a major or a minor) a POV. So the damn thing was jumping all over the place. I'm trying to stay as close to the original story line as possible but inevitably you know as well as I do that with all re writes changes get made.

I'll be away a lot over the next two days so I'm not sure I will have time to blog. (I will be out buying stuff for my office/library extensions & helping with the building). Not to mention I'm trying to buy a Dan England CD. I have one but I want his other one - (purely for research of course - LOL).

Enjoy!

Michael Marsden

What Have You Missed.

Okay, in the last ten days I still haven't heard who my new editor at MLR is yet... Yes by now we all know how much I hate waiting.

Onto other news: I lost the original copy of The Diamond Rose: Undercover Hearts. I have searched and searched but to no avail. So I just decided - FUCK IT - and started from scratch. I figure I should actually finish this one seeing as Emily has the series name tattooed across her chest.

Winblown Kisses: My Knight in Tarnished Armour (Which I am seriously considering changing to - The Connelly Chronicles: Ray) is at 22K and counting. I am hoping to reach half way over the next couple of days. (By the way the picture of Jonathan Rhys Myers is how I picture Ray Connelly).

The Lines of Marsden: Living in Shadows and finding out about Experimentals: Blessed With A Curse are on hold because I have to wait for my new editor at MLR.

My library/office extension is going great. The hubs and I did all the framework one Sunday May 26th. Next weekend we are doing the actual walls and floors. The weekend after I am hoping for the bookshelves to go in. Then it's painting and stocking it and getting the electrician in to change the light fitting for me. I will add picture soon so you can see the process... well, as soon as Em shows me how to get the pictures from my phone to my computer. Also my greenhouse is getting fuller and fuller can't wait for it to be finished.
