This Is A Crazy October So Bear With Me

1) Building up towards another year of NaNoWriMo!

2) I'm awaiting the awards ceremony for the Florida Writers Association and how I do for the Royal Palm Literary Award in Short Fiction this year!

3) Work at the library has gotten intense: I am currently serving as Interim Library Director while the city tries to hire a full-time Library Director (details are messy and we'll discuss it later).

4) This is the first October I plan on not getting door candy or having the lights on for Trick or Treat. It's been five years here, and nobody seems to think my neighbor is good for it. :(

5) I really really need to clear out some short fiction works before I head into NaNo. Using the anthology deadline idea may help.

Kitteh Update 4/10/14: Video Kittehs

Can I upload the video clips off my smartphone?

Attempting... attempting.........

It might work... If I can upload Mal and Ocean, maybe I can get the other kittehs...

Nope.  It's 223 MB of data, I'm getting error messages.  Might be too big a file.

Will attempt something else...

A Librarian-Writer-Pirate-Wannabe Looks Back at 40

(cross-posted to my otter blog):
And on this 40th birthday I can say only one thing:

Where the hell can I find a cute single woman - Age 25-35 with brunette hair, doesn't smoke, likes football and comic books, with knowledge of either A) European History B) American Politics or C) Paranormal (UFO and Ghosts) Studies - so I can date her and finally lose my goddamn virginity?!
