2022 Anthology "Anniversary" - Discussion Thread

[Mrsgnomie]

@Carlos Hazday the story I’m starting to work on is not a romance. It’s a crime-ish drama? Just to get you off my back. It’s probably going to be complete trash, and I will fully blame you if it is.

Can I edit it?

I promise not to tell you to cut back on the wordiness! I'll let @kboishammer you there.

After anthomonth, I think I'm taking y'all sailing. We all need a break!

@Mrsgnomie How 'bout finishing  the Jayloe epilogue first. Yeah, yeah, your closets needed purging. Whatever.

I'll make sure she keeps it reasonable. 

I'll be on a cruise ship on Sunday. I'd say you all could come with.... but last minute cabins for that many are hard to come by. With my luck my anthology submission will be the 22nd when I'll have no internet.

Be like that. See if we invite you to Key West or Ibiza!

I assume my submission will be in the last batch; I'm resigned to patiently wait.

Mine was the first one in so of course I'll get relegated to the end.

NO CLOSETS!

We're all proud and out around here.

At least some of us...

I said I would invite y'all BUT.. cabins last minute are hard to come by with all the newer requirements.

Because? Or have you been reading your fortune?

I hope my two don't post in the same week.

If you guys don't have anything better than to sit around here flapping your fingers on the keyboard, then at least do it while you're writing new stories.  We have Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas coming up, along with Hanukkah, Kwanza, Festivus, and whatever other holidays I might have overlooked, so start writing a holiday themed story or stories to post.

And @Carlos Hazday, I want my bones back.

I'm working on a story about a Mediterranean cruise, a Coast Guard adventure in Alaska, and a wedding at the Breakers in Newport. But fine, I'll start on that Christmas story I mentioned to readers about baseball-playing identical triplets.
