Slow morning, with bonus writing stuff!

[mousme]

I've been procrastinating on my writing, but at least I've got my new website updated. For those who don't follow secret_history, and those new people who don't even know that I write fiction, I have started a new writing website (designed and loaded and brought to life by the lovely and talented joane because I *suck* at that sort of thing).

The new website is Midnight Crossroads, for those of you whose interest may be piqued.

Right now there's only the first instalment of Beyond the Pale on there, but the first instalment of Conflation will go up on Thursday, and the two will update every week at least for a year. I have a significant backlog of BTP, but Conflation will need writing before the year is out, which is all to the good.

Next week's project is to start putting up edited chapters of In Transit (thanks to pasley for the new title!), formerly known as Afternoon Snack of the Living Dead and also formerly known as Crisse, des Zombies! (Zombie Crisis!).

(Amusingly, I'm the second Google result for "Midnight Crossroads." I don't know why I got such a kick out of that, but there you go.)


In non-writing news, I got up late this morning, but at least I've had breakfast and soonish I'll be getting my act together and doing some cooking and tidying. Yes. That's the spirit. :P

(psst - you have to flag an article as 'published' for it to actually go up and be visible. Fixed it for you. ;) )

Argh!

It showed up right away if I didn't check "unpublished" or whatever. Or was that just because I was logged in?

*headdesk*

Were you trying the time delay? If so, yeah - I made a note in the instructions in the time delay post about that. It shows up as published if you're logged in, whether it's on a delay or not. The best way to check anything like that is to log out and see what non-admins see.

Thanks! I must have missed that part of your instructions. Not that I look at things selectively or anything. Eesh.

Hee! And I was trying to edit that comment as you replied to it... here's the full version:

Were you trying the time delay? If so, yeah - I made a note in the instructions in the time delay post about that. It shows up on the front page if you're logged in, whether it's on a delay or not; you can see your own drafts, essentially. You can check it either by logging out and seeing what non-admins see, or check the article manager - time delayed posts show up there with a little icon on 'em.

Either Way...

I was looking at the yard and thinking, "I could ask Savant to dig this up and move it, or I could ask him to dig this up and put a cage on it and re-bury it..."

When a voice spoke in my head (your voice, which I remind you I have not yet heard): "Either way, it is bad for Zathras."

You've never heard my voice?

Well, here is a voice post. That's what I sound like. :)

Huh? Literary Phnee?

and those new people who don't even know that I write fiction...

Jeez. I thought I was "old people" but...

Ask your dear joane to make a fav.icon for you? Like, see that little pencil next to the LJ url in your browser?

I am too sleepy to read right now but look forward to spending good time on the site!

And congrats!

I will ask once I figure out what I want. :)

Thanks for the good thoughts! You didn't know I write fiction in my spare time? Huh. It's been a while since I wrote regularly, but I didn't think it had been *that* long... mind you, I don't talk about it much on my regular LJ, as it seems to bore/annoy a lot of people when I do.
