Ah bugger, the publication I wrote 'Gotta be Dragons' for has closed all submissions while it goes under restructuring (hopefully all ends up ok for them).
Guess I've got a spare story flapping about in the wind for the time being- either until they reopen, or something suitable comes along.

Starting a new project tonight (which mostly means deciphering my own handwriting because stupid me wrote notes on paper instead of my phone)
I think 'Gotta be Dragons' is done, but letting it sit until tomorrow before I submit it

Time to begin my writing day!
Editing 'Gotta be Dragons' this afternoon, which hopefully I'll finish, and then looking to start my next project about a knight and barbarian falling in love (it's not a happy story)

That was a great episode, and I must be in a particularly sensitive mood because Jay-Den going from feeling like an outcast to finally feeling accepted when he was handed that bow at the end had me crying so hard lol

I slept really deeply and well last night- felt rather fresh this morning.
That feeling was just somewhat spoiled by a minor nosebl**d (my first this week).

I think my strategy of spamming out submissions to lots of publishers over the last year is definitely beginning to pay off.
I've had 4 acceptances from 35 submissions.
Also had 15 rejections.
I've written 22 stories over the last 7 months (so I've written 3 per month on average)

There's beauty and danger on the Jagged Shores of Northumberland in this series of contemporary MM thrillers. High in romance, spicy and suspense.

Kate Butch, what a star.
A little surprised by how great the overall quality is in DRUKvW this season... not to be too shady, but sometimes queens don't put as much effort into the Vs The World spin-off (to be fair, sometimes they're not able to for lots of different reasons).
Strong start so far.

I got to page 5 of 7 and that's enough for tonight- this story needs so much work!
And a new title- 'A Soup of Dragons' doesn't fit, so might change it to 'Gotta be Dragons' instead.
But that's for tomorrow- time to chill, then watch Drag Race UK vs the World
