Mar. 14th, 2007 11:54 am"Police Bot" Writing Log
Words: 603
Total words: 12,248
Overused word: gangbangers
Gratuitous word: behemoth
Type of scene: A posse of ghetto folk going into a gated community. Good times.
Challenge(s): walkie-talkies
Which paragraph is it anyways?
Notes: I'm so close to ending this thing I can smell it. Two--maybe three scenes and I'm done. I'm quite tempted to push it to finish today, instead of switching over to submissions and editing after I write 500 words. We will see. If I'm in flow, I'll continue. Maybe not a bad idea to do it that way for writing in general? Maybe it is? You might think I've been doing this long enough to have the balance figured out, but you'd be wrong.
Other writingy stuff:
*![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
penthius freewriting, "The Cats of Mars: Science Fiction"
* Processed Nelson Agency query rejection.
* Thanked the first couple of critters for "Vicesteed" and printed off critiques for use.
* Sent out reminders to non-critters group about "Vicesteed ch. 1 & 2", and emailed to get Adam's in a more easily-printable format.
* Scanned and processed tax-deductible purchase receipts.
* Processed Analog rejection of "The Miracle Material" - the mostly form letter addressed to "Mr. Wiebe" says it is "not quite suitable to our present needs," which is a very nice way of saying absolutely nothing. :)
* Read FundsforWriters newsletter
* Read FFWSmallMarket newsletter - added Shiny (http://shinymag.blogspot.com/2007/01/submission-guidelines.html) to market list.

The guard grabbed his walkie-talkie. "Central, we may have a situation," he said. "Over."
The radio crackled. "What sort of situation? Over."
"I--I don't know," the guard said, watching the caravan halt and the passengers get out. Individually, he would have called them "suspicious persons." Taken all together, he didn't know what to call them. "Switch over to my cameras."
