Szekret Sztory: Szection Szeven

[ratsy]

Just stopping by to see how it's going. Still can't believe I'm skipping my first Santa!

DG, are you keeping sane?

 

[Dan Jones]

Me? Never, squire.

I lost what I'd written so far when my ex phone conked out. I'm determined not to fail my first sekrit challenge, seeing as I got an awesome request, and especially seeing as I received two stories from my request.

 

[ratsy]

Just a little ratsy motivation for everyone...I just sold a Sekrit Santa story! This exercise really does great things

*Meaty slap on the back*

Nice one, Ratsy.

 

[sinister42]

Mazel tov! I'm about 2/3 done with the one I'm working on. It's going well! I think. Well, it's going.

 

[Dan Jones]

Good work Ratsy. You are the short story king so I'd expect nothing less

 

[Shyrka]

Awesome. My first attempt has spiralled out of all control. It's going well but there's so much more to do...

 

[johnnyjet]

Congratulations, Ratsy! I have two previous Sekrit Santa stories that I've been trying to get into shape to submit to markets.

My current story has gotten a bit out of control and I'm attempting to wrap it up soon (hopefully).

Finally won the thumb wrestling match with my cat for control of the computer.
Got into the story file... Deleted more than I wrote.
*facepalm*

Hoping it's like trimming a tree, and that with a more focused draft I'll be able to move forward. Story has just been milling about in stage-setting mode.


What was our deadline again??

What was our deadline again??

Stories should be submitted to me by July 1st. (Though it will make my life easier if not everyone decides to submit on deadline day, pretty please!)

So, end of the month. Although a bit earlier would be preferable, to produce excerpts and send out prepared documents…

Am I supposed to make grunty noises and assure people mine will be in on time?

 

[Phyrebrat]

I sent a spare weeeeeeks ago

[sinister42]

Well aren't you a special little snowflake.

 

[Kerrybuchanan]

I just got my story and it's great! Really enjoyed it.

I have narrowed it down to three possible writers, so looking forward to the guessing part of the game to see if I'm right.

Thank you to whoever wrote it.

 

[sinister42]

Mine's done and submitted to DG. However, it's also submitted to Lightspeed Magazine, so you won't be seeing excerpts here unless and until I get a "no."

 

[sinister42]

Hrm. Werewolf thieves and jousting keep rattling around in my brain. Not going to try to write another story before the deadline (that would be MADNESS) but something might come of this. Something extremely odd.

 

[Kerrybuchanan]

I might have written a spare... ...or I might not. Only the Great Szekrit Keeper knows.

 

[Ashleyne]

I'm still working on mine and I will finish it, but not for the deadline. I'm on an 8 week work placement and have little time to myself.

I might have written a spare... ...or I might not.

Likewise, I may have written a spare . . . or maybe not. Hmmm.
