A Cat And A Meese- DONE.

That's right. A Cat And A Meese is done and has been submitted to the Girls With Guns Anthology (http://www.tonyamoore.com/blog/2010/03/26/call-for-submissions-short-story-anthology/). Now I wait and see if it's accepted.

Again, regardless of whether it is accepted or not, I will be posting the PDF on the blog. I'll wait until the Anthology is published, though- unless it's rejected.

Also... coming up next!

The Junkyard Unicorn

Down Came The Moon

A Different Kind of Magic (also known as The Wolf And I, and no, it isn't a werewolf story.)

The Nightmare Witch

All short stories, all in, or past, their first drafts. All... coming to a blog near you. Or at least the progress reports are. If I find anywhere to submit them, then I will.

And.. the book I know you all are anxious to read...

Meese

And much, much more.

The cliffhanger, of course, is... will my story be accepted? Tune in next week, folks, to see if Lassie rescues Timmy from the well!

With much hope,

Kelly

PS: Does anyone actually read this?

A Cat And A Meese- DONE.

A Cat And A Meese

Been a while, eh? Well, I've been busy. But now you got me for an entire week and a bit! And I'll have a present for you soon.

A Cat And A Meese

Short Story, 5279 words

Status: Past the third draft and being buffed and polished.

Description: Meese goes hunting Kitty, and something else hunts them. Sci-fi/fantasy.

Thaaaaaaaat's right! This little gem, formerly known as Kat and Meese, is mostly done. In fact, the entire thing is done except for a few things to hum and haw over in the description. It's been through a few critiques on http://www.scribophile.com/, and someone rated it 4/5. Sounds promising, right? Well, it's certainly got my hopes up. I read the story, and look at the http://www.tonyamoore.com/blog/2010/03/26/call-for-submissions-short-story-anthology/, and think: "Hey... this might just work."

In other news, Meese has hit a standstill due to my focus on A Cat And A Meese and an ill-timed schooling in mathematics (seriously, when is a good time for a math course?), but that will, if I have anything to do with it, change. I've also glanced back at Junkyard Unicorn's first draft, and it doesn't look so bad now. Also have ideas for a story about a shadow with a name, short story probably, and random stuff working up.

Also, for those of you not wanting to download A Cat And A Meese if it should be accepted into the Girls With Guns anthology, I will be posting it here, on my blog, as soon as I figure out how to pdf it and find a webhost to... host.. it.

Till next time,

Kelly, Kitty, and Meese.

A Cat And A Meese

Kitty 2

The train rumbled on in the tunnel, skreeing on the rails and clattering across junctions with a booming sound that did little to instill confidence. Kitty, pressed against the other standing passengers, was getting dangerously bored. Someone's suitcase was riding up her leg, and everyone was too close and there was nothing to see outside the windows except lights flashing by and the occasional Exit sign glowing briefly by. She shifted around a bit, and repositioned her leg against the luggage.

"Lost your way, my little elemental dear?" Said the lady to her right in a rather familiar voice. Kitty looked over, and bumped into suitcase man as the train rumbled around a corner.

"Got your attention, I see," said the lady's breasts. Kitty stared.

"Boobies," said the boobs, and then the hand she held began to laugh.

What the hell? Said Kitten, who, if looks were any indication, was the only other one to hear the voice. Kitty smiled. The laughter jumped back to the boobs. The woman who owned them was trying not to look at Kitty. Kitty laughed, too. She was beginning to like this voice.

"What are we doing tonight, Brain?"

She wondered if she could exchange it for Kitten. It seemed so much more fun. Somehow, however, she didn't think it worked that way.

Kitty 2

Demon Printer

It is time to dust off the demon printer.

It has been laying, dormant, under a decorative pillowcase in the living room for years now. We disconnected it when we moved the computer, and decided to keep it disconnected because it seemed more interested in printing wingding sentences than what we asked of it. When we'd insist it print what we wanted, it would shudder and sigh and, begrudgingly, spit ours out. After dawdling over every line of ink, of course.

I'm excavating it. I actually kind of like the wingdings. Happy faces and peace signs were, as I recall, the most prominent. I figure it's time to make peace with it.

Short post. I'm alive. All two of you that come here :D

Update

Project Update, even though it's a very tiny update.

Meese

2394 / 100000 words. 2% done!

Told you it was tiny. Chapter 1 is done in a very rough form. But that's apparently okay because it's a 'shitty first draft.'

I think I will submit a Meese story to the Girls With Guns Anthology - I've reread it, and I don't think it is too spoilerific. I've got a backup short story I'm working on, though. All you Kitty fans... you'll get to find out what happens, finally, between Kitty and Kitten!

Kat and Meese (working title)

2052 / 7000 words. 29% done!

Also got hit with an amazing idea for another story. But, as everyone says, the ideas are the easy part. Writing the story is the hard part.

PS: If any of you devout readers want to read chapter 1- which I promise you isn't all that great right now, just post in comments and we'll work something out. More Kitty bits, like the one in the last post, are coming as well. She gets me in the wee hours of the morn, when I have no where to be and no where to run...

Update

Kitty Intro

Yeah, I know why you guys are following me. I know what you want. I've got some new Kitty for you.

For those of you who don't know, Kitty is a character of mine. Kitten is trapped in her head and kind of plays devil-on-the-shoulder for her, except Kitty is perhaps the worst person for a devil to be stuck with.

------------

She looked to the window, thick with condensation, and a foggy face smiled up at her and told her to 'b hapi.'

"Thanks," she said.

"My pleasure," said the face. She looked at it again. Beads of condensation sweated down its cheeks. It looked a lot less innocent now, but she could be biased since it had just talked to her. She didn't think they normally did that, but what did she know?

It winked at her, and she looked away and surveyed the nearly empty bus again.

"Oh, you'll never find me," it said with a quickly melting, toothy grin. She grinned back.

"Having fun, are we?" She said. A woman in another seat looked up.

"You're my brand new toy," it said, "and I'm going to play with you, my pet."

"That right?"

It didn't have time to answer. Kitty'd wiped the smile off its face. As far as she was concerned, one odd voice was enough for her head.

Very mature, said the usual voice. She smiled again. She knew this wouldn't be the last time she heard that other one. She hoped it wasn't. She did so love to play.

Kitty Intro

Introduction

Hello, all zero of my readers! It's a lovely, sunny Thursday afternoon and I have nothing better to do than avoid writing and dick around on the internet! None of you know me. I'm just an unknown, unpublished writer who recently shed her 'wannabe' status by actually writing something. Not much. Just enough to tip the scale ever so slightly. Now I get to bore you by listing my projects!

Meese

Junkyard Unicorn

That One With the Stolen Heart

Lost One

(Italicized to look fancier.)

I am currently focusing on Meese, so I'll introduce it a bit. This is an Introduction post, after all.

Meese is a little worried and a lot confused. She's managed to get a record and a job in the same day- but she thinks that her employer, the God of Theatre, only keeps her around for comedic relief. She was about to ask him about that, when something special of his was stolen. A god-item thing. Now she's lost in the very literal criminal underground. Seriously. It's below the regular city. It's only a matter of time before someone finds her, and her winning smile probably won't help this time.

It's a work in progress, but it's progressing. You're all just jealous because I get to watch her trip into trouble before you do. Hah!

I think that's enough for an intro post. Later, loyal fans!

PS: I probably will get off my lazy arse and customize this blog a bit. In the next week or so.
