Fail Emma has failed

So I did have a short story written that I was going to release yesterday- BUT then like a dolt I forgot to save. And my computer decided to freeze and I was unable to save it.
I'll have something new for you lot soon though.

I feel like this needs to be said

I am not a bestselling author. I don't have a lot of money. I rarely have any spare money, despite what you might think or observe. I'm the very depiction of the poverty line, actually. But I'm not going to give up.
I have a lot of debts to repay. I can't give up.

Merry Christmas!

I've got a surprise for you, dear readers!
Around 10:00PM on Christmas Day I will be publishing a brand new story!
Are you as excited as I am?

A New Novel Project and Other Things

I'm working on a novel. I don't know when it will be done. I'm not working on it as my main priority so it's not going to be out within the next four months at least. But I am working on a novel. It's tentatively titled Breaking Glass, and it's based on a true story.
I'm also working on a bunch of 11-story collections that I will be releasing in the next few months. They'll each be only 99 cents.
Once they're all released in e-book form, they'll be released in one huge paperback that will be priced between 10.99 and 17.99, depending on how many stories it actually ends up being and how large a book it has to be.

First short story teaser paragraph and title reveal!

I have written the very first short story in the first weekly short story collection I will be putting out: Signs of Life. The short story is entitled "Zippo." Here is the first paragraph:

A slow smile spreads across my face as I close the top of my stash container. My pipe full of something sticky and sweet, I feel around on the floor with my feet for my lighter. My socked foot bumps into something- success! I wrap my toes around it and pull it up to where my hands can reach. 

Tumblr Was Down

And I panicked.
No, really.
Allow me to screenshot my Facebook timeline from the time when Tumblr was down.

Yeah, I kinda flipped shit about it. (Click to see a bigger, more readable size)

Anyway, this weekend I am setting out to begin writing one short story every night, to be released at the end of the week (Friday evenings) in a story collection on the Kindle, free for the first 5 days and then 1.99 after.
These will be absolutely random stories, just whatever happens to pop into my head. I will also be working on that Sci-Fi story that lenniershairlessballs over on tumblr prompted so I might release it in the third or fourth collection I release hopefully.
When I've got enough collections to warrant a paperback, I will release a 200-400 page paperback filled with these stories. And I will repeat this until I'm a super famous writer who's loved by millions of people!  Er, I mean I will repeat this until I finally actually write a novel and release that instead of short stories.
Anyhoo, I'm writing too much on this blog right now. I will try to update every day or every other day with story titles and character information and stuff.
See ya!

Classic Doctor Who and Fangirly Things

I'm still writing. Writing, writing, writing, but almost everything I've written is crap. I'm still trying to trudge through but my heart's not in it. I'm hoping that I can write something good soon, but until then I'm going to watch Doctor Who. Classic Doctor Who. The old series, the original series. Mostly because I can.
I've begun to write Doctor Who fanfiction. Which, of course, means that other fanfiction has been pushed off to the back burner, but hey, that's life isn't it? I still plan to write the endings to all of those fanfics I've said I'll write. But at the point I'm at right now, I can't.

I'm considering starting a new blog simply for short stories and fangirlings and whatnot. I will, of course, link it here.
For now, I'll leave you with the news that I bought a new pair of tennies today and they're super comfy.
Now if only I can fix that cash flow problem.
